Welcome! Join us in Meditating on Mindfulness
This group is for anyone interested in developing mindfulness in daily life through meditation. We welcome everyone from any background. We want to provide a supportive environment for practicing meditation and developing mindfulness.
Byoma Kusuma offers guided meditation sessions which are designed to help you develop mindfulness and its resultant benefits through Shamatha (Calm Abiding) and Vipashyana (Insight) techniques. Group sessions provide a supportive environment and group synergy, and can help you develop your own daily practice at home. For those interested in Buddhism, meditation sessions are followed by Dharma discussions in which we will explore various aspects of Buddhist philosophy and their relevance to everyday life. Read more on mindfulness, meditation, and Byoma Kusuma in the About section.
Programs are free. Donations are welcome and will go towards supporting center activities and initiatives in the US and in Nepal. For more information on our activities/initiatives please visit our website at www.byomakusuma.org.
Starting April, we will meet the first and third Sunday of each month. Join us (dress comfortably) and experience the benefits of dwelling in mindfulness!

“ I would recommend people to join this group if they want to learn about Buddhism .Discussions are full of knowledge and explained in very simple terms. ”
“ This was a good introduction to Buddhism. As a novice, all discussions were at a level that I could comfortably understand and absorb. I took away many delightful and thought-provoking ponderables! ”
