    Not far from the nation's capital, this is a peaceful place to go to meditate and de-stress.

    Ive been meaning to come here and I finally stopped in for a mediation class of prayer that was…read moregoing on. When I walked in, I immediately was welcomed inside. There were snacks and it was such a welcoming atmosphere. The kadampa meditation center is very relaxing and the moment I entered I felt at peace. It is very beautiful inside and the energy is calming. If you are seeking alternative spiritual guidance and connection with others, come to this meditation center. Here you will feel welcomed and at home. If you're not into Buddhist meditation it's okay to come once just for the experience. Walk through the gardens and come in to peek in during prayer. You will feel welcomed.

    The Sunday morning service is called "Peace and Pancakes". An explanation about meditation and…read morepeace is given by a Buddhist nun and a a short talk about Buddhist ideas and how to use them in conjunction with meditation. Then a short guided relaxation meditation along with chanted meditation/prayers for world peace. The class is about an hour long with everything included. After everyone stays to enjoy pancakes or waffles. Each week is a different flavor of topping and they alternate between waffles or pancakes. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming and I've had some really great conversations and made some amazing new friends here. The cost of the class is by donation and $5 for the pancakes. It's a great way to enjoy a peaceful Sunday morning with friends and family in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. The prayers begin at 10:30 and brunch is served around 11:30. I've been several times now and always had an enjoyable experience; I highly recommend it.

    HI , My name is Gary Walker ,I have been a member of S.G.I for the past year . One of my best…read morefriends had mentioned in passing that she was doing this practice and how good it made her feel . This is a kind wonderful person who i happen to value her word . Suzanne over the years would mention it and i thought that i would go one day . That day came last year .My husband and partner of 31 years died unexpectedly on February 8th 2015 . As you can imagine I felt like all of the love, joy, and happiness was gone out of my life . Left with life being numb as i really couldn't feel anymore . I showed up on a Thursday night intro meeting to see how it would look and feel . The Center is beautiful Zen like space with maybe twenty people present. I liked it straight away , just people sitting chatting saying hello . Then someone handed me a business sized card with "Nam-myoho-renge-Kyo" this the chant .So we started chanting then prayer followed by a discussion . If was beautiful and i felt great, however I was waiting for " your phone# credit card stuff" none of that stuff . No one has ever bothered or put pressure on me just great support and caring . I expected big complex lectures on what it means- again none of that . You keep showing up learn as you go . I love the practice i can do by myself or with others my choice . The past year it had to be that way no pressure!. I belong to the Georgetown group we meet in someones home on a Tuesday evening .I love what we do and who we are to ourselves and each other . Thank you S.G.I and all it wonderful members who are made up of all different kinds of good people . Gary Walker
