Bellingham Shambhala
Meditation Group

Welcome to the home page for the Bellingham Shambhala Meditation Group. Shambhala is an international community of 165 meditation centers led by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. At our meetings, free meditation instruction is available, as well as a variety of classes and programs in meditation, Buddhist teachings and other disciplines.

At the heart of our Center is the meditation hall, where students practice the discipline of meditation that is at the core of all Shambhala activity. The meditation hall offers a beautiful, open and protected space for practice, instruction and community gatherings. The Shambhala Group also maintains Ziji Ling, a shineroom immediately downstairs from the Meditation Hall.

Each Monday at 7pm, you may meet and talk with meditation practitioners and instructors who can tell you from first-hand experience about Shambhala Buddhism and how you can participate in such activities as:

• group meditation practice
• Buddhist educational programs
• Shambhala Training events and programs
• Nalanda Arts activities, such as ikebana flower arrangement
• cultural events, including community gatherings and holidays

Special note: Our community currently needs your insights and, even more, your active participation in order to thrive. Please take a look at the committee page to see if there's a way for you to help.

The Dharma Hall is currently not wheelchair accessible, but click here for a note on working with disabilities.
