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 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

Join Us Online and for Occasional* In-Person
Practice and Teachings.

All our practices and teachings are offered on Zoom, and occasional practices are provided as a hybrid session at both at the Dharma Center and on Zoom. For the safety of our visitors, sangha members, and volunteers, we follow the current CDC guidelines for COVID safety protocols.

*Please see our weekly newsletter to stay updated on our practice and program schedules for Wednesday and Saturday practices and know when the Dharma Center will be open. There is currently no online calendar; you may sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this page.

​For out-of-town Dharma friends, we do plan to maintain our Zoom practices in a hybrid format even when we fully re-open our Mediation Center.

When we fully re-open, as always, our practices, classes, and retreats welcome everyone into a safe, non-dogmatic, sacred space to explore the teachings of the Buddha and to experience the refuge within, our own awakened nature.

Everyone is welcome to attend our regular weekly practices, currently offered via Zoom and occasional* hybrid sessions!
