Welcome to Shambhala.
You've found a place to rest your mind
and make friends with being human.
We offer a wide range of programs, classes, and opportunities for ongoing practice. Here you'll find free meditation instruction, open meditation practice on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights, and an open house every Sunday morning.
The Berkeley Shambhala Meditation Center is part of an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and currently headed by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
Located at 2288 Fulton Street, Berkeley is one of the oldest Shambhala centers in the mandala. For over thirty years we have offered the ground of Shambhala Dharma to the Bay Area.
Practice and study go hand in hand. We hope that this website and our Center are useful in both deepening your practice and your understanding of the path.
