KCC: Regularly Scheduled Meditation Sessions

Regularly Scheduled Meditation Sessions

There are two meditation practices done at the center. One is Calm
Abiding (Shamata) meditation, which is basic sitting meditation with a
brief liturgy at the beginning and end. The other is Chenrezig
meditation, which is a Vajrayana practice. This practice includes
chanting and recitation of mantra.

Although everyone is welcome to attend both practices, the Calm
Abiding practice is more accessible to those who are not familiar with
Vajrayana meditation. In either case, attending an introductory session
or arranging to speak with someone prior to a meditation session will
make your observation or participation in the meditation more
meaningful.

The following events are usually held every week. Occasionally,
special events such as Sunday evening classes or weekend retreats may
interfere with this schedule. Such special events are usually listed in
the Upcoming Events section. Other schedule variations are noted below.
