About Us

The Meditation Center of D.C. (M.D.C) is a non-profit organization and a Buddhist temple, whose primary purpose is teaching meditation. It is our conviction that individual peacefulness of mind underlies the collective potential for harmony and peace in the world. M.D.C. operates under the Dhammakaya Foundation, headquarters in Thailand, a non-governmental organization of the United Nations.
M.D.C was founded in Virginia in 2001 by a group of people interested in the practice of meditation. The meditation center is located in the beautiful city of Alexandria, Virginia. The center is on the hill looking down the pond. The settled atmosphere creates the tranquil environment perfectly suited for meditation.
