There are many communities with a meditation center, so it would be futile to try and discuss them all in this limited space. However, we can look at a few different locations to get a sense of what’s being offered. Some facilities have daily hour-long classes, while others specialize in spa treatments or fully immersive week and month-long meditation retreats. You needn’t attend a center to find your own personal place to meditate. Many people practice right at home, yet few people enter a meditation temple and leave unchanged.

In Los Angeles, the Kadampa Meditation Center is a comfortable white building nestled in the Elysian Valley between Griffith Park and Dodger Stadium, with convenient access from Highway 5. They offer a number of classes, day courses, study programs and retreats. Kids, individuals, couples and families can all attend classes, which focus on breathing techniques, meditation, a short lesson and discussion time. Their website explains Kadampa Buddhist teachings as such: “If we do not maintain a peaceful state of mind we are not happy even if we have ideal conditions. On the other hand, when our mind is peaceful we are happy even if our external conditions are unpleasant.” Rigorous study programs, meditation teacher programs, lunchtime meditations and temple ceremonies are all available.

The Insight Meditation Center in New York City is an urban center that focuses on two types of meditation; mindfulness and vipassana. These Buddha-inspired teachings are suitable for beginners, who can come and take a four-week course that teaches the basics. One of their creeds is: “When we carry a burden, it’s heavy; when there’s no one to carry it, there’s not a problem in the world.” The center also holds day long themed workshops such as “Conscious Aging: Applying Open Minded Mindfulness” or “The Gift of Speech: Communicating from the Heart.” For those looking to forge new bonds with like-minded individuals, there are social events like potluck dinners to foster a sense of oneness.

The Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts is one of the most frequented meditation center programs in the United States. Nearly 2,700 people attend their retreat centers each year.

The retreat center offers 25 meditation courses, 7-9 day retreats, courses for teens, courses for people of color, courses for women and retreats for families. Some individuals can stay at the secluded Forest Refuge for a year or more on their personal journeys. For more information, visit www.dharma.org.
