Meditation Mindfulness meditation is the foundation of all that we do at the Shambhala Meditation Center. Originating from Shakyamuni Buddha, this 2,500 year-old practice of self-discovery is rooted in the simple, but revolutionary premise that every human being has the ability to cultivate the mind's inherent stability, clarity and strength in order to be more awake and compassionate in everyday life.
Meditation is the way that we can make a direct and simple relationship with our experience. It is possible to discover our basic nature and develop friendliness towards ourselves and others. As a result of our practice we can discover how to live our lives in an uplifted and dignified way. The appreciation and warmth that arises from our practice can be extended into our world.
One of the most valuable resources the center offers is individual meditation instruction. We provide this service free of charge,
and leave it up to the instructor and the student to schedule meetings at their convenience.
If you have already taken a course at the Center and are interested in furthering your studies under the supervision of a meditation instructor, please send us an email and someone will be in touch to discuss this with you.
