Tame your mind. Open your heart.
Serve the world.
Awaken.

Join us and explore ancient Buddhist wisdom for contemporary life.
​We integrate both traditional Buddhist methods of meditation and mind-training with secular, empirically-based practices of mindfulness, altruism and self-compassion. 
Everyone is welcome!
All that's required is your intention for a wise and open heart.

For as long as space endures, and for as long as living beings remain, may I too abide to dispel the miseries of the world.
—Shantideva
