Meditation Practice

At KCC, the foundation of spiritual training is shamata or "calm abiding," a basic sitting meditation that develops stable attention and provides the basis for investigating more subtle aspects of awareness. The active cultivation of compassion and loving kindness is the essential companion to this meditation practice. These two elements form the basis for the path in both formal practice and in the situations of daily life.

Along with these essential practices, KCC teaches Vajrayana Buddhist methods as passed down in the Tibetan tradition. These practices provide a means to relate directly to the innate purity of the mind and the qualities that manifest from this primordial purity, utilizing visualization, recitation of mantra and other techniques.
