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.
All Northern California Shambhala meditation centers offer free meditation instruction, classes, a comprehensive curriculum in Buddhist studies, and Shambhala Training - a progressive series of weekend secular workshops that help students establish a personal meditation practice in order to engage more fully and compassionately in the world. Check with your local center for its schedule of events. Northern California Shambhala welcomes people of any spiritual tradition or none at all who would like to learn more about the everyday benefits of meditation.
