~ Our Centre and Community ~ |
|
|
The Joyful Land Buddhist Centre is located in central Ottawa on Somerset Street West.
Established in 1996 under the guidance of
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the Centre has a beautiful meditation room where
evening and
weekend classes,
pujas, and
retreats are held.
There is shared community space for people to get to know each other.
The Dharma shop carries all of
Geshe Kelsang's books, as well as posters, postcards and ritual items. |
| The Joyful Land community is a mix of
individuals of all ages and backgrounds, some new to Buddhism others experienced in the Dharma. The common thread which knits these individuals together is a caring and loving nature combined with an
interest in learning about Buddhist practice and how to make our lives happier and more meaningful.
Concentrated study is offset by more relaxed gatherings before or after class, or at monthly community lunches where discussion often leads down interesting paths. |
