Waking Up to Everyday Life
Welcome!
The Seattle Shambhala Meditation Center offers ongoing training in meditation, study, and contemplative arts to help us awaken our true nature and infuse our everyday activities with wisdom, compassion, and a sense of humor.
About Us
Established in 1975, we are part of Shambhala International, a community of meditation centers founded in 1973 by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master, artist, author, and poet. Today, the Shambhala tradition is led by Trungpa Rinpoche's son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
Shambhala represents a willingness to awaken into our world with fearlessness, and to appreciate the wealth and subtlety that surrounds us. This can be discovered through the study and practice of traditional Buddhism or other disciplines which cultivate our hearts as well as our awareness. At the Shambhala Meditation Center, we have tried to present a range of disciplines which share one core ethic: wakeful intelligence. Our community includes people of all ages and walks of life who are exploring their world as individuals, together.
We provide an open meditation space, instruction in meditation for beginners or experienced practitioners, and a diverse variety of evening and weekend programs that help provide the tools to discover compassion and wisdom in day-to-day life.
You are warmly invited to join us.
