Please note that this week, Chuck Wallbridge will be filling in for Venerable Yangchen. Thank you, Chuck!

Sundays 9:00 am – 10:00 am

Join us as Venerable Yangchen leads Sunday Drop-In Meditations weekly in-person only in the Gompa.

Venerable’s guided meditations bring together a refreshing and precious combination of simplicity, depth, and accessibility. These weekly, hour-long sessions are of great relevance and value to long-term Buddhist practitioners as well as to complete newcomers to the Buddhist path. No doubt this is partly thanks to the wisdom, warmth of heart, and straightforward sincerity with which the meditations are delivered.

How to Prepare for the Meditation

Come a little early to find a seat and settle in. The meditation leader, Venerable Yangchen, will give a brief explanation of how to adjust your mental and physical posture. Then we will start with concentration meditation, focusing our awareness on the breath. After a quick break approximately midway through to stretch our legs and make any needed adjustments, we sit back down for another 15–20 minutes of contemplation on various Dharma topics—lessons taught by the Buddha and the centuries of later Buddhist masters.
