Katsel Meditation Sterling is a peaceful 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the practice of Tibetan Buddhism under the guidance of Lama Konchok Sonam. Rooted in loving-kindness and compassion, we gather to meditate, study the Dharma, and benefit all sentient beings.
Our center offers meditation inspired rooms, back-support seating, cushions, sacred texts, fresh tea, a serene garden with reflection pond and large Buddha statue—creating a space of refuge for all who seek peace.
Suggested donation for classes is $10, though everyone is always welcome, regardless of ability to give. Your presence with a kind heart is the greatest offering.
If inspired, you may support the Dharma through acts of generosity: helping clean up, bringing offerings like tea or candles, or making a donation toward sustaining teachings and materials.
May all who enter find peace, connection, and the path of awakening.
