There is mention of 4 different locations, centres. I wonder if you could tell me where the other three are. I don’t drive, live in Bowmanville, and it seems any meditation centres I find are located in Toronto or somewhere else I cannot easily reach.
Thanks very much.

Deborah,
Beyond meditation, how do you practice compassion, with integrity, toward family in your day-to-day life?

Hi there
Robbie, there are a few Kadampa Buddhist centres in the toronto area - in the Beaches and in the Annex area. Also in Belleville and Kingston.
But I thought I’d let you know of a retreat the centre is holding near Cobourg May 16-19th. It is at a beautiful and quiet retreat centre called Northumberland Heights.
You can see all the info here…
