What is a Buddhist Center For?

“…the center is in this world to educate people … giving education in how to practice kindness toward others in everyday life.”

“The Dharma center is an emergency rescue operation, like when police go in with sirens blaring, helicopters whirling – to rescue people in distress! Like that, the meditation center plays a very important role in the emergency rescue of people, human beings, using the seat belt and life jacket of the lamrim.”

Lama Zopa Rinpoche
