Location and Directions

Kadampa Center is located at:

5412 Etta Burke Court
Raleigh, NC 27606

To reach Kadampa Center, you will need to come via westbound Western Boulevard because there is a median strip in the center of the road, preventing a clean left turn into Etta Burke Court. On Western Blvd, drive About 1/4 mile west of the light after Powell Drive and turn right onto Hillsborough Street. Drive north about one block to Etta Burke Court and turn right.

When you leave the Center, you will turn right out of Etta Burke Court and go under the railroad bridge. From there you can continue east on Hillsborough Street or turn west on Chapel Hill Road (the first traffic light) -- both providing access to northbound and southbound routes.

If you are coming from the Raleigh beltline or Blue Ridge Road, drive west on Western Boulevard past Powell Drive and follow the directions above.

If you are coming from Chapel Hill or Durham on I-40, take exit 290 and turn east on Chapel Hill road (NC Highway 54). Go about 1-1/2 miles to Hillsborough Street, and turn left. Take the first right at Powell Drive and go to Western Boulevard. Turn right and follow the directions above.

For Out-of-Town Visitors

For visitors from out of town, there are many hotels within a mile or two of Kadampa Center. Unfortunately, there aren't many sidewalks in the area so walking to the Center from a hotel is not a good option. Kadampa Center does not endorse any particular hotel, but we're happy to provide this list of nearby inns for your convenience.
