Vajrayana Buddhist Center was founded by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in 1997 as a non-profit organization and a member of the New Kadampa Tradition. It offers meditation classes throughout the Chicago area, including a Sunday Service at 10 am.

Our Resident Teacher is Gen Kelsang Khedrub. He is a close disciple of Geshe Kelsang and has been studying and practicing Buddhism for over twelve years.

"Developing compassion and wisdom, and helping those in need whenever possible, is the true meaning of life."
