With 'monk on Miracle Mile,' visitors seek peace in this hidden Buddhist center
Briefly

The Kadampa Meditation Center Miami aims to help individuals develop inner peace, wisdom, and compassion. Located in Coral Gables above a former restaurant, the center opened in 2020 just before the pandemic. Gen Kelsang Tashi, a resident teacher, has a background in stress management, having discovered Buddhism after struggling with his own stress. He became an ordained monk after years of practice. The center is part of the New Kadampa Tradition, which emphasizes the desire to improve oneself and benefit others through meditation.
"At the very heart of everything that we're doing is that wish to improve ourselves and benefit others. To be able to do that, we need to develop our inner peace, we need to develop our wisdom, and we need to develop a good heart of kindness and compassion."
"The tiny second-floor center is easy to miss amid the hustle and bustle along Miracle Mile but the center has been there since 2020, opening just before the COVID-19 pandemic."
