LOTUS CENTER

The Lotus Meditation Center was established on the UND campus as a sacred space of peace and quiet, offering yoga, meditation, tai chi, group retreats and support... In 1997, professor emerita of music, Tamar Read, donated funds for the construction of a center adjacent to the campus International Centre. The building had served as a place to support mindfulness in the Theravada Buddhist tradition; prayer of a variety of faiths; educational and cultural programming; and music concerts. With a new campus infrastructure plan starting in 2015, both the Meditation Center and subsequently the Memorial Union (serving as a temporary home) were removed. However, the mission of the Lotus Meditation Center continues through continued programs thanks to an endowment from Dr. Read, generous donations from our members, and many volunteered hours.
