Welcome
The Philadelphia Shambhala Meditation Center is part of an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Our center offers daily public meditation, a core curriculum of Buddhist and Shambhala teachings, as well as training in advanced contemplative practices.
We invite you to explore our diverse programs designed to help people of all traditions discover their inherent sanity, gentleness and humor.
Public meditation is offered daily Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday.
Be sure to check our "Programs" page for classes and offerings which may have become available since newsletter publication.
