Vajravarahi Meditation Center
Although most of us who live on the East End of Long Island would agree that we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, we know that living here doesn't automatically bring happiness.
Our Dharma Center is a place where people gather to learn how to develop inner peace, the main cause of happiness. The center offers General Program meditation classes and teaches simple, practical techniques to reduce the stress of modern life. The center also offers opportunities for those who wish to engage in a deeper study and meditation programs through our Foundation Program.
In addition, we also offer Blessing Empowerments, retreats, day courses, and special 'pot luck' pujas, where we chant prayers and share the food offerings at end of puja. These pujas offer a special opportunity to receive blessings and to meet and share with other sangha friends.
The Spiritual Director of the center, Ven. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, founded the center in November, 2001. At this time he asked Kadam Star, our Resident Teacher, to move to the Hamptons and begin teaching. Since that time, several hundred people have attended classes, public talks and workshops dedicated to helping people to overcome their daily problems through wisdom and compassion.
