Sunday Meditation & Community
Boulder Shambhala Center, 1345 Spruce St, Boulder, CO, USMeditation is a process of bringing our consciousness into the present moment. The repetition of bringing our awareness back again and again is a process of becoming familiar with our own mind. Eventually this intimate familiarity of our thoughts and emotions opens a space that is always present. Compassion, discernment, communication, and gentleness all arise from meditation practice. By recognizing our thoughts as they come and go we increase our capacity to hold a greater level of uncertainty.
We begin with (optional) opening chants followed by alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation until noon. You can quietly come and go at any time, it is not necessary to attend the entire morning. Sunday morning meditation is a time to deepen our practice.
Any quiet sitting meditation practice of any tradition is welcome, or just come and sit quietly in this sacred environment with others.
Please join us on Sunday morning at the Boulder Shambhala Center, 1345 Spruce Street.

Training the Mind and Cultivating Loving-Kindness- The Lojong Teachings
Boulder Shambhala Center, 1345 Spruce St, Boulder, CO, US6 Consecutive Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8:30pm (MT) starting on February 24 and finishing on March 31, 2026
Lojong, literally translated as “mind training", cultivates understanding of emptiness and brings out our compassion, the essential qualities of the bodhisattva warrior. Based on the seven points of training of the 10th century Indian teacher, Atisha Dipankara, these pithy slogans are wonderful for developing openness and skill in helping others. They are as helpful and relevant today as they were 1000 years ago.
The mind training slogans are powerful meditation tools to bring both fortunate and adverse circumstances to the path. In the process of learning to appreciate all of life's experiences as opportunities for discovery and growth, we awaken to our inherent compassion and wisdom.
In conjunction with the day-to-day application of the slogans, the contemplative practice of exchanging self for other – tonglen - is emphasized in this course. The selected readings will be from Training the Mind and Cultivating Loving-Kindness, by Chögyam Trungpa, Start Where You Are, by Pema Chodron and additional texts and readings.
Open to all: No Prerequisites
NOTE: It is suggested that students have at least some experience with meditation as well as having attended an introductory Buddhist class.
