Meditation The basis of our practice is mindfulness-awareness meditation - the very same approach to working with mind taken by Shakyamuni Buddha 2,500 years ago. The practice provides a gentle and totally accessible means for uncovering the mind's natural clarity, flexibility and strength, and for developing true compassion for both others as well as ourselves. Read a short talk about this fundamental practice by Sakyong Mipham, Rinpoche, the eldest son of Trungpa, Rinpoche and the spiritual head of Shambhala. Shambhala offers a sequence of meditation and study programs that lead the student to an understanding of the vast and profound nature of the path. Please read about the Shambhala Buddhist path here. Meditation Instruction Instruction in Shamatha-Vipashyana (mindfulness-awareness) meditation practice is available free of charge in both small group sessions and individually.
