Shambhala Meditation Center
Shambhala Meditation Center is a network of meditation centers and groups that follow the Shambhala Buddhist teachings. Shambhala is a global community with a mission to create a culture of kindness, mindfulness, and care. The teachings were brought to the West by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in the 1970s. They are based on the Tibetan Buddhist traditions of Nyingma and Kagyu.
Shambhala teachings include the study of Shambhala ideals, which emphasize fearlessness, compassion, and enlightened society, as well as the practice of mindfulness meditation and contemplative arts. By incorporating these ideas into daily life, the Shambhala community hopes to promote consciousness and wakefulness.
The Shambhala Meditation Center offers various programs, workshops, and classes on meditation, Buddhism, and contemplative arts. Regardless of one's experience level or background, these centers offer a welcoming atmosphere for learning and practicing meditation. The club also routinely organizes social meetings, retreats, and talks for the general public in order to build a sense of community among its members. In response to the evolving connectivity landscape, the Shambhala Meditation Center is expanding its reach via digital channels.
