This wonderful, peaceful meditation center in Fort Collins Colorado has exceptional classes, taught by extraordinary teachers all in a serene gompa (meditation room) which must be seen: any attempt to describe it would fall short. They offer drop-in classes and drop-in meditations, some at weekday lunch times, some after work on Fridays, and so many opportunities on weekends. The Sunday morning meditation class from 10:30 till noon is just extraordinarily uplifting, as is the remarkable Wednesday evening, 90 minute teachings🙏

I love going to classes and events at Heruka Buddhist Center. I've learned so many practical skills that have helped my life become more peaceful and happy. The community here is so welcoming and I really appreciate that there are classes available to all levels of experience. I had never meditated before going for the first time and that was no problem at all. I've been given all the direction I need to become an experienced mediator and develop my spiritual practice in a natural and gentle way so it fits into my life.

It’s much more than mindfulness.

The Benefits of Meditation at Heruka Center:

You’ve probably heard: Meditation reduces stress. It improves concentration. It benefits your health. It can even slow aging. But that’s just the beginning – at least if you meditate at Heruka Kadampa Buddhist Center. Our meditation practices are based on a lineage of wisdom that has liberated practitioners from anxiety, stress, pain and suffering for thousands of years, long before there was “an app for that”. Heruka Center members are your friends and neighbors who have found these teachings to be just as transformative today. Try one of our many classes and see how well they work for you.
