Kentucky Meditation Center and Buddhist Vihara (KMCBV) is the place for teaching and promoting mindfulness, loving kindness, compassion, nonviolence, spirituality, meditation, yoga, and Buddhist wisdom in the Buddhist monastic environment.

Our mission is to promote individual peace of mind, compassion for all beings, spiritual growth, and an ethical way of life based on Buddhist principles.

Through loving kindness meditation and the development of mindfulness, we strive to enlighten individuals as to the cause of suffering, the path leading to the cessation of suffering, and an understanding of the true nature of our existence

The KMCBV is constructed of many people all working together to make things works. In through nourishment of the Dhamma we practice intellectually through wisdom and knowledge. We practice ethically through good work.
