Crawford Street may be closed during March and April 2025 due to road works. Parking spaces in the neighbourhood will be very limited. For this reason, it is easier to come by public transport if this is an option for you.

It is possible to find parking further away in the nearby streets. Please allow more travel time.

However, it is generally not possible to park for more than 3 hours during the day. It is necessary to have a permit in order to park overnight in the area.

Temporary day parking spots nearby: Green P Parking.

If you have any questions or booking inquiries, please email: registration@kadampa.ca

Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point.

Our classes begin with a brief introduction, followed by an initial guided meditation to settle the mind and create a feeling of inner peace. This is followed by a talk on an aspect of meditation practice related to the series topic, and concludes with a guided meditation related to the talk.

After each class, we invite you to join us in our community room for complimentary refreshments and an opportunity to ask questions.

You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience with meditation is required.

Everybody is welcome!

These classes are held in the peaceful, spacious and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. We also have many books and other meditation materials available at our Temple shop which can help you deepen your understanding of the meditation experience through further study.

Temporary on-street permit parking in Toronto: Provided space is available, a temporary parking permit may be purchased by residents and their guests to park a motor vehicle on a street designated under the permit parking program of the city of Toronto.

Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point.

Our classes begin with a brief introduction, followed by an initial guided meditation to settle the mind and create a feeling of inner peace. This is followed by a talk on an aspect of meditation practice related to the series topic, and concludes with a guided meditation related to the talk.

After each class, we invite you to join us in our community room for complimentary refreshments and an opportunity to ask questions.

You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience with meditation is required.

Everybody is welcome!

These classes are held in the peaceful, spacious and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. We also have many books and other meditation materials available at our Temple shop which can help you deepen your understanding of the meditation experience through further study.
