Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre is the mother centre of a worldwide network of modern Kadampa Buddhist centres founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, who guided every aspect of the centre's development for over 40 years.
It is a special place dedicated to world peace, where people from all backgrounds can find inner peace, learn practical methods to solve everyday problems, and develop the ability to help others do the same.
The centre is based at Conishead Priory, a Grade II* listed Romantic Gothic house located just south of the English Lake District. Set within 70 acres of woodland and gardens on the shores of Morecambe Bay, it provides a peaceful and inspiring environment for volunteering, learning, and reflection.
Volunteering at Manjushri KMC offers a unique and enriching experience, both personally and spiritually. As part of an international community, volunteers spend time with people from many countries and all walks of life, each bringing different perspectives, experiences, and skills.
Those who wish can learn about meditation and explore Buddhist teachings, while enjoying the supportive atmosphere of a warm and welcoming community. In their free time, volunteers can easily explore the breathtaking lakes, mountains, and villages of the Lake District, one of the most beautiful regions of the United Kingdom.
