Shambhala Art Part I: Coming To Your Senses

Are you interested in learning about meditation or Buddhism?

The Ottawa Shambhala Meditation Centre offers meditation instruction, practice and study in the tradition of Shambhala Buddhism.

Our approach combines the Shambhala view of living an uplifted life, fully engaged with the world, with the teachings of the Kagyü and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. It leads to the cultivation of personal qualities beneficial in daily life and in service to others.

We are a member of Shambhala International, a worldwide community of urban meditation and rural retreat centres founded by the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and now led by his son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
