MIAMI SHAMBHALA BUDDHIST
MEDITATION GROUP
The Miami Shambala Buddhist Meditation Group is a part of Shambhala International, a worldwide community of over one hundred urban and rural meditation practice and retreat centers founded by the Tibetan buddhist meditation master, chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. The leader and principal teacher of Shambhala International is Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's son and spiritual heir.
The mission of the Miami Shambhala Buddhist Meditation Group is to offer meditation programs as a path to discovering the gentleness, fearlessness, intelligence, wakefulness and humor inherent in every human being, and to build a community based on human goodness and dignity.We welcome anyone who would like to learn meditation practice and who aspires to expand the experience of gentleness into all areas of life.
"The Shambhala teachings are founded on the premise that there is basic human wisdom that can help to solve the world's problems. This wisdom does not belong to any one culture or religion, nor does it come from the West or the East. Rather, it is a tradition of human warriorship that has existed in many cultures at many times throughout history."
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, founder of Shambhala International

DHARMA GATHERINGS
Thursdays at 7 PM
The dharma gathering is an opportunity to meditate in a supportive group setting, to learn how to apply the principles of meditation to everyday life and a chance to meet and mingle with fellow practitioners. We generally sit for an hour followed by a reading and discussion.
On the first Sunday of every month we also have a full three hours of meditation interspersed by periods of walking meditation.
Experienced meditators and newcomers are equally welcome. We welcome all interested meditators to come and practice meditation with us whether or not they choose to stay and participate in the readings and discussion. For those just entering the path, introductory meditation instruction is available. Come sit with us!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
PERFECT MEDITATION
Meditation practice is not a way of entering into a manufactured state of tranquillity or equanimity. Rather, it is samyak samadhi, the perfect meditation, the perfect absorption. Perfection in this case has no allegiance toward confusion or enlightenment. That’s why it is perfect. When we have no allegiance towards confusion or enlightenment, we free ourselves from any dogma, any bondage. A sense of ultimate relaxation begins to occur. -- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
