 Established in the tradition of the Buddhist forest monastery, our Center passes on Buddhas teachings through in person and virtual services, weekly support sangha's, and classes skillfully designed to nurture your well-being.

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know what leads you forward and what holds you back and choose the path that leads to wisdom.


Buddha

  "World-Honored One, if sons and daughters of good families want to give rise to the highest, most fulfilled, awakened mind, what should they rely on and what should they do to master their thinking?"

The Buddha, Dharma, and Mindfulness

The teachings of the Buddha offer a profound guide to living with wisdom, compassion, and inner peace. Central to his path is the Dharma, the universal truth and the way things are. The Buddha taught that by understanding and living in accordance with the Dharma, we can move beyond suffering and awaken to the deeper freedom within. This path isn't about belief, it's about direct experience, insight, and transformation.


At the core of the Buddha's teaching is mindfulness, the practice of being present. Mindfulness helps us see clearly, without distraction or judgment, so we can respond to life with greater calm and care. It grounds us in the here and now, allowing us to meet each moment with awareness and kindness. Practiced daily, mindfulness becomes more than a technique, it becomes a way of living, deeply aligned with the Buddha’s vision of awakening.

 "There are these three urgent duties of a practitioner. The undertaking of heightened virtue, the undertaking of heightened mind, the undertaking of heightened discernment. "
