"Extending love and compassion toward others in contemplative practice is a rehearsal for stepping beyond stinginess and self-centeredness in daily life. Eventually our training will give us the power to flip the mind instantly by letting go of the "me plan" and considering the happiness of somebody else, whatever we’re experiencing, wherever we are. In that moment, we are cultivating peace. When we live like this, we feel happier. The reason is simple: because love and compassion are the basis of our consciousness, we thrive when we let them come to the forefront.." Sakyong Mipham
"Sangha" is the Sanskrit term for "community of practitioners" - one of the three jewels of Buddhism. The Shambhala Meditation Group of San Diego 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. The Shambhala Meditation Group is part of a larger Buddhist Community in San Diego. You may want to follow this link to learn about other local groups and events.
We are located in the back at the Art Produce Building at 3139 University on the southwest corner of University Avenue and Herman Street. Our community also includes our neighbors with whom we share space, the Art Produce Gallery and Caffé Carpe Diem. The gallery is designed to be viewed from pedestrians on the sidewalk as they move about the neighborhood. The owner graciously makes her space available for us to exhibit works on Shambhala Arts Day and on other occasions for films or as additional sitting space. Not surprisingly, the caffé provides a backdrop for many sangha discussions. |
