Questions, Suggestions & a Few Tips

The Buddhist Center invites anyone interested in learning to meditate in general, or about Buddhism in particular. The Buddhist Center is open to anyone, of any faith, at any level of experience. Many of our active members are also participate in other faith traditions.

Each of our Monday night gatherings are oriented such that both new people and the ‘old hands’ can be enriched. In the beginning, it’s common to feel a bit intimidated or confused as you hear new terms or engage in new activities. In fact, the concept of ‘beginner’s mind’ is celebrated in Buddhism as the quality of experience that is already close to the ‘heart of the matter’. 

The most important thing is to be patient and ask a lot of questions. If you are able, any donation is appreciated if you benefit from our offerings.
