| 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 through Thursday. We are exploring offering a lunch time sitting period once a week. If you have interest in this please email Harriett Zilber at hzilber@comcast.net.
Be sure to check our Programs page for classes and offerings which may have become available since newsletter publication.
| Meditation is at the heart of all we do at the Shambhala Center. One of the paths for  beginning a meditation practice is through Shambhala Training, particularly Level I: The Art of Being Human which serves as an in depth introduction to mindfulness-awareness meditation technique and also serves as the beginning point to the Shambhala Training path – a series of weekend retreats that are an effective way for students of any tradition to learn to meditate.
By settling the mind, we begin to experience the brilliance of the world beyond our habitual patterns and conceptual filters, the quality of basic goodness we can neither create nor destroy.
