The following classes are currently being offered:

General Program: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. In-Person classes only. See below the topics for the September Series.
Foundation Program: Mondays 4:30-6:30pm. In-Person, with a correspondence option of livestream/recordings based on need. Registration is required to attend this Program.

Having a spiritual community is essential in Buddhist practice. Our like-minded spiritual friends help us strengthen our practice and grow on the spiritual path. We look forward to seeing you soon here at KBKBC Harrisburg.

With love and prayers,

LEARN TO MEDITATE

The Precious Conch shell symbolizes the Dharma Jewel, encouraging us to listen to precious Dharma teachings and contemplate and meditate on their meaning.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY

The Precious Fish symbolizes peace and harmony, indicating that having come under the umbrella of Buddhism we should always maintain harmony and joy.

KADAMPA BUDDHISM

The Precious Dharma Wheel encourages us to benefit others by turning the Wheel of Dharma, that is, by giving Dharma teachings. This is our final goal.
