Acharya Adam Lobel with the group that took their refuge vows in March 2007.
The Boston Shambhala Meditation Center is part of an international community of 189 meditation centers founded by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and led by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. The Shambhala Buddhist path, unique in the world of Western Buddhism, combines the teachings of the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism with the Shambhala view of living an uplifted life, fully engaged with the world.
"Sangha" is the Sanskrit term for "community of practitioners" - one of the three jewels of Buddhism. This Shambhala Meditation Center is home to a wonderfully diverse community who share a genuine connection to contemplative practice and the aspiration to realize a more wakeful, sane society. Friends and members of the Shambhala Center are welcome to attend celebrations, practice events, meetings and gatherings of special interest groups.
Programs in Buddhist teachings, meditation and other contemplative disciplines are offered as well as free individual meditation instruction.
Coming soon to this website: A community "spot-light" page where you will be able to see the many diverse talents of members of our community. If you are a member of the Boston sangha and wish to include a posting of your work (photography, poetry, music, visual art, announcements of upcoming performances), please contact the Center Coordinator (Sarah Lipton) at: info@shambhalaboston.org.
We invite tech-savvy folks to check us out and say hi on the following social networking sites: myspace, facebook (group: 'Boston Meditates'), and Engaged Buddhists (group: 'Boston Meditates').
