The heart of the community is our Monday night gatherings. Each Monday night the community gathers to explore some aspect of the spiritual path, through discussions, teachings from Tim and other teachers, or to participate in some related activity.
A few times each year, the community invites leading Tibetan, or western teachers to lead a weekend retreat. We’ve hosted many remarkable teachers over the years. These retreats are the highlight of the year’s calendar.
On the first Saturday of each month, we offer a longer ‘mini retreat’ from 9am - 10:30. This is an excellent way for members to support and strengthen each other’s practice. Please check the calendar for the scheduling of these retreats.
From time to time Tim will host a ‘Nature of Mind night’. These evening focus on exploring the practice the nature of mind, the pinnacle of the Buddha’s teaching. Anyone who has had teachings on the nature of mind can take part.
We join together via zoom on the first Wednesday of the month to discuss the teachings of the month and the contemplations that Tim asks us to consider.
Every few months, and on special occasions (i.e. Tibetan New Year) the community will gather for a potluck dinner. These wonderful gatherings have become a much-loved tradition in the community.
Every so often, we do a short guided meditation practice to acknowledge our shortcomings and renew our resolve to wake up
Every 3 months we perform a beautiful short ceremony to benefit those people and situations that call for our care
Tim offers remote interview times throughout the month to discuss your meditation and life along the path
Twice a year or as needed pending interest - Fall 2024 TBA
The Buddhist Center is a spiritual community dedicated to sharing the teachings of the Buddha with an aspiration to end suffering. We provide a sacred environment in which all are welcome to explore the Dharma through practice, teachings, study and retreat.
