Do your homework, Kadampa is an umbrella group of the Shugden sect which is a puppet for the Chinese Communist Party, and are responsible for attempting to undermine the Dalai Lama’s precious message and teachings. These people are masquerading as many things, but have a sinister agenda. Do your homework on these people and stay away, educate others. I am happy to see this center in Petaluma closed down, we don’t need support this garbage here.

So unfortunate these people pretend to have profound peaceful teachings for today’s modern world, yet are a puppet group created by the Chinese Communist Party to divide and create negative tides for students and practioitioners of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as all faiths of people who value the universal core values that the Dalai Lama teaches. Please do your investigation on ALL Kadampa centers, and their ties to the Chinese Communist Party, it ain’t pretty, folks.

The Mahakaruna Buddhist Center is a peaceful refuge in the small riverfront town of Petaluma. It’s next door to car repair places, some construction, so it’s not exactly the Sonoma Mountain Zen Center. The Mahakaruna Buddhist Center has beautified itself over the years. There’s an elaborate altar, several devotional thangkas(paintings), a bookstore, and snacks out front for hungry travelers. They make people feel welcome. Their Wednesday afternoon meditations bring a sense of peace. It’s an oasis in the busy little town of Petaluma.
