About us
We are a Theravāda Buddhist meditation group meeting Sunday mornings at the Foundation of Light in Ithaca. Whether you've never meditated before or have been practicing for years, you are warmly welcome here.
Our sessions typically include chanting, silent sitting meditation, and a short Dhamma talk rooted in the early Buddhist teachings. There's always space for questions, especially if you're new and not sure what to expect.
Theravāda ("the teaching of the elders") draws directly from the Pāli Canon — the earliest recorded teachings of the Buddha — with an emphasis on direct practice and gradual training of the mind. No prior experience, background, or belief is required to attend. Just come as you are.
