Bangkok Shambhala Meditation Group

Looking for a way to deepen your meditation practice? Join us on the last Sunday of each month for a meditation intensive.

Open to meditation practitioners of any tradition, periods of sitting meditation will be interspersed with periods of walking meditation.

It is not necessary to stay for the whole time (but is highly recommended), so feel free to drop in for whatever part you can attend. We will end the session with a short set of traditional (Shambhala) closing chants and the usual "dedication of merit."

Registration is not required, and there is no charge for joining. Donations are always appreciated, and can be made in person, or by bank transfer at:

HOW TO GET HERE: We are located in Young Place Plaza on Soi Sukhumvit 23. Under the big sign for Young Place, we are in the green-painted building immediately to the left. Go up the stairs to the lobby and turn left to find the elevator. Hit the button for the 3rd floor, and our suite will be visible to the left, # 118/79.

You can tell taxis and motorbikes to go to Young Place on Soi 23. From the Asok BTS and the Sukhumvit MRT stations, a motorbike costs about 30 baht, or about a 15-minute walk.

Please join us for a Zen meditation and study session at the Bangkok Shambhala Center, 10 AM until noon on Saturdays.

The Zen school of Buddhism provides direct access to study our hearts and minds, release long-held destructive patterns, and ultimately allows insight into the ground of reality. The Zen path steadily reveals our inherent wisdom and compassion and eventually we realize that each step along the path, from the very beginning, is enlightenment itself.
In this weekly class, we'll sit two 30 minute periods of zazen in stillness and silence, followed by a period of study and discussion. Zen meditation instruction will be provided for those who are new.

The instructor: Chris Abraham is a long-term Zen practitioner and senior student of the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism. He has spent years in monastic training at Zen Mountain Monastery and has previously started meditation groups in Bali and Chiang Mai. Over the past year and a half he has been an active participant at our Shambhala group here in Bangkok.

No previous attendance, registration, or fee is required to attend. The suggested donation is 100-300 Baht. The Bangkok Shambhala Center (which is a Thai non-profit Association) remains open because of the ongoing generosity of our members and program participants.

Sunday afternoon meditation practice session, from 2pm - 3pm, plus refreshments and social time at the end.

Join us for a group meditation practice session on Sunday afternoon. It is fine to arrive late or leave early, as your schedule permits. If it's your first time (and you'd like to receive meditation instructions), please arrive a few minutes early, to make sure you don't miss the start of the session and the chance to receive instructions. Open to meditation practitioners of any tradition.

This is a wonderful opportunity to meditate in a supportive group setting, and to meet and mingle with fellow practitioners (bring your friends)! We welcome both newcomers and familiar faces. Refreshments will be served at the end and there will be an opportunity to socialize.

This is a drop-in session. No previous attendance, registration, or fee is required to attend. Suggested Donation range: 100 - 300 Baht.
