Overview of the Shambhala Buddhist Path
It is said that "the dharma is good in the beginning, good in the middle and good in the end". From the first experience of relaxing on the cushion and allowing oneself to just be, the practitioner can discover the goodness of dharma, both within him or herself and in the world.The path of the practitioner of dharma is rich with opportunities for self-examination and discovery. Beginning with looking at one's own experience directly in meditation, the practitioner learns about the ways the mind works. Through meditaiton, the practitioner penetrates confusion to experience the naturalness of being awake. Through studying the wisdom of the lineage, the great practitioners dating back to the Buddha, the student is challenged and inspired to discover a direct view of the nature of mind and reality. While there are many opportunities to join with others on the path for practice and study, the journey is personal. The Path we offer is one of a balance of meditation practice and study. The Way of Shambhala and Shambhala Training programs are our core offering for those interested in Buddhist studies. Read more about the Shambhala Educational Path here. We also offer various programs and workshops throughout the year at all our Shambhala Centers which study different aspects of the Buddhist path.

You may also check the calendar of each Shambhala Meditation Center for local meditation practice times and local community events and classes. |
