Milarepa Center is a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center located on 275 acres of stunning beauty in northern Vermont. We offer a wide variety of programs encompassing compassionate and wise practice through study, meditation and service.
Our main facility is housed in a farmhouse that dates from 1865. Nearby is a converted barn, flower and vegetable gardens, and two retreat huts served by the main kitchen. Two additional, more remote huts have their own kitchen and are ideal for longer stays. Surrounding it all is the natural beauty of rural Vermont.
Program Highlights
 Skiing to Enlightenment Weekend
February 5-7
Wake Up to Enlightenment: a truly unique way to enjoy winter activities at a greatly reduced cost to the ski resorts. Combine meditation with your skiing or sledding experience.
Why not wake up and join a morning meditation, head out to a day of skiing, sledding, or snowshoeing at Milarepa or at a local ski resort (we are just 30 minutes from Burke Mountain Ski Area and less than 90 minutes to Stowe and Killington), then return to our cozy environment for an evening meal followed by meditation and a Buddhist video. We have two tremendous sledding hills and nearly 300 acres to explore with snowshoes and cross country skis.
A highly beneficial way to enjoy your winter recreation. Or if you don't feel like getting outside, feel free to join our full weekend program on Karma and Emptiness led by Amy Miller.
Pre-registration recommended by calling (802) 633-4136 or by emailing: milarepa@milarepacenter.org. Suggested donation per person: sliding scale from $100 to $250 includes all meals and shared accommodation. Flyer

Ven. Amy/Milarepa Center Film
Earlier this year filmmakers Katya Yakubov and Daniel Hess captured a day in the life of Ven. Amy Miller, Buddhist nun and Director of Milarepa Center. The collage-style video is part of a project called Eight Billion Lives. In the project’s own words, “Everyone has a story. Watch a day in the life of people from all over the world.”
