Kalpa Bhadra Kadampa Buddhist Center is a non-profit organization and a part of the New Kadampa Tradition - International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU) founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, and is dedicated to the promotion of inner peace through the study and practice of Buddha's teachings, known as Dharma, in Southern Pennsylvania.

Buddha taught that, of all the problems that arise in life, internal problems, such as anger, attachment, and ignorance, are the most important ones to solve because they directly destroy inner peace and happiness. Through training in meditation everyone can learn to recognize, reduce, and finally abandon all of these negative minds and maintain a peaceful mind all the time. Therefore, our mission is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to learn about and gain experience with meditation and Buddhism.
