Our Center

The North Fork Meditation Center exists to provide everybody in the surrounding areas with the opportunity to learn about and practice Buddha’s teachings. We present Buddha’s teachings in an accessible manner that can easily be integrated into busy modern life.

Meditation is the tried and true methodology that Buddha taught for creating lasting transformation. When we change our minds, we go right to the source of happiness and fulfillment.

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

Venerable Geshe-la has devoted his entire life to the learning and then flourishing Buddhist teachings throughout the world. After coming to the West in 1977, he worked very hard to establish a modern presentation of the Kadampa lineage of teachings. His presentation retains all the meanings and insights of Buddha’s original teachings, in a format that is accessible and suitable for modern-day practitioners. Through his great kindness everyone – regardless of nationality, culture, age or gender – now has the opportunity to practice scientifically proven methods for solving the problems of daily life that ultimately lead to true and lasting happiness.
