Our Center

Maitreya Center is the newest Kadampa Buddhist Center to be established in Florida. Buddha Maitreya is the embodiment of the loving-kindness of all the Buddhas.  

Carol Lutker is the Resident Teacher at Maitreya Center. She has been a student of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso for many years.

Introductory Meditation Classes

Maitreya Center offers general meditation classes for beginners on Sundays and Wednesdays. These consist of two guided meditations, a short talk, an opportunity for questions and answers, and light refreshments. Each talk is part of a series, yet is self-contained. This means that you can drop in at any juncture and still feel that you have something worthwhile to take home with you.

Our aim, as at all Kadampa Buddhist Centers, is to provide tools and methods whereby people can find increased peace and happiness in their daily lives. Everyone is welcome!

Cost: $9 ($5 for students/limited income) per class. Center Sponsors pay $60 ($35 for students) each month, and can go to any class at the Florida Centers or branches for free.
