What we’re about
“Meditation practice begins by sitting down and assuming your seat cross-legged on the ground. You begin to feel that by simply being on the spot, your life can become workable and even wonderful.”
– Chögyam Trungpa, Founder of the Shambhala Tradition
Shambhala Meditation Center exists to help New Yorkers of all traditions discover their inherent gentleness, sanity, confidence, and humor.
Through awakening our inherent goodness and potential as human beings—as individuals and as social networks and communities—we can help to foster an awake and compassionate global human society.
We currently offer programs and community events for meditators of all ages and levels, both online and in-person. Come sit with us!
