What we’re about
Meet like-minded people interested in meditation near you! Learn how to meditate or deepen your current meditation practice. A trademark of the meditations we emphasize is the ease in which they can be used both “on the cushion” and in our daily lives.
Each meeting will include practical meditation, and a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life and how to increase mental and physical well-being. There will also be plenty of time to discuss the ideas presented. Although the meditations and talks are based on Kadampa Buddhist philosophy, you don't need to be a Buddhist to enjoy this group or benefit from our meditations.
Everyone is welcome!

How to Strengthen our Potential for Happiness with Resident Teacher Cindy Parker
In general, science is associated with the study of the material world, but actually science is a methodology in which we acquire knowledge through observation and experimentation. It is precisely through this methodology that Buddha arrived at his insights into reality, and in the practice of Buddhist meditation we learn to observe and experiment (with our mind!) so as to reproduce, and thereby verify, Buddha’s results for ourselves.
What are these results? Happiness!
Buddhist meditation is an inner science, and it is geared towards fulfilling our deepest wish, which is our wish for happiness.- April 3 - How Love Gives Happiness to Others
