Kadampa Meditation Centre Glasgow

Great place to go Monday to Friday lunchtime for a wee half hour away from the hustle and bustle

I have attended talks at this calm, friendly oasis for about 4 or 5 years now. Looking back, I cannot overstate how truly beautiful these teachings are, and the positive effect they can have on your life. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have heard such enriching thoughts, always delivered by gentle teachers, with such humour and lucidity. You will find that these profound life-lessons make real sense and stand up to your own life-experience. Had they not been based upon the soundest rational thinking, my first visit would have probably been my last. Instead, my eyes, heart and mind have been opened, and I am grateful beyond words.

Very friendly, informal and welcoming. Good variety of classes and drop in sessions. Shop on site for CDs books cards etc. Free tea, coffee and biscuits provided and outdoor seating for friendly chat. Love it here.

Had my first experience at Kadampa Meditation Centre today. The Buddhist teacher-Kelsang Gakyi talk was very relatable because she added in her own personal experiences to the talk. I also enjoyed that the 3 hour session involved a break where you can have a cup of tea and talk about the teachings with others that have came along.

I enjoy the regular meditation classes, teachings and company of all the wonderful people involved. My life has truly been transformed! I would highly recommend a visit!

I have been attending the parents and tots meditation sessions at Kadampa for 3 weeks (today is week 4) and cannot speak highly enough. What a great idea, the kids can play and assistants are on hand to help with the wee ones, while I have a chance to practice some meditation. The teaching topics are all so relevant to my parenting life and I have been feeling much calmer and able to cope with whatever challenges I come across. So good I've booked for the next block already!

I feel obliged to comment and review following on from Gerald. I started going to the centre as I felt quite lost and depressed following the death of a few family members. I started grief counselling in conjunction via the Maggie centre, and I happened to see a flyer for a mindfulness event at the Riverhill coffee shop and decided to attend at the trades hall, and it was fantastic. I have been picking and choosing classes that suit what I need for the past 7 months or so ... and yes you pay to attend, but for me I find it very worthwhile to me. I remember vividly sitting in one particular class, and I felt a warmth in my heart, I hadnt felt anything like that for such a long time as I was drowning in sadness for years. Like anything in life, you only get what you put in, important to do your own work outside of class too.ignore Geralds review, it is a nonsense. Everyone is very nice.All the best. Mike

Attended a meditation classes and it was wonderful. Really lovely place and all staff were welcoming and helpful.

Such a beautiful venue with interesting program and kind people! I really enjoyed the evening class and meditation there.

The best little oasis of peace in the centre of Glasgow. Everyone is friendly receptive and kind. It has a very light uplifting atmosphere which I find inspiring. The peace one feels during meditation is so healing. You can hardly believe that such a space is situated in the heart of a busy city. I consider this place my second home.
