Everything from stress-relief to enlightenment

Jampel Buddhist Centre is part of the New Kadampa Tradition of Mahayana Buddhism. Jampel Centre offers a range of classes and meditations, which help everyone develop peaceful contented minds. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend - everyone can benefit from the wisdom of Buddha as it is presented for the modern world.
