Shambhala Meditation Center of San Francisco: what do users think?

jocelyn jessica jacinto: Great for Group Discussions.Run by Senior Members!

Jocee J: Tibetan Buddhist chanting, walking and sitting meditation.

Jeri Hirvela: Newly renovated to a smaller space, the San Francisco Shambhala Meditation Center is a wonderful place to enjoy meditation and instruction. While many of the center regulars are Buddhist, and there are also Buddhist teachings offered, the primary focus of the center is on the secular practices of meditation, mindfulness, and creating enlightened society. A wonderful place to connect and practice!

Gabriella Sannino: Great space

Janie Lu: Warm, unpretentious, and welcoming. Very cool that some of the instructors worked alongside Pema Chondrom and Trungpa Rinpoche way back when.

Jessica Locke: Wonderful community of practitioners and teachers; lots of programs geared toward relating meditation practice to social benefit. Love this place!

Mina Dadgar: great meditation instruction and community

Erik Irvin: Helpful classes, warm community, and a great space to learn meditation

Tue Vo: This place is the most loving, welcoming, kind meditation center that I have been to. This center is managed by a collective of nuns and volunteers. I look forward to every Sunday meditation with delicious scones, cookies and teas. They have an incredible array of speakers and teachers who are famous Buddhist scholars such as Robert Thurman and Thupten Jinpa. This place is clearly a gem in San Francisco, a refuge from the rat race in Bay Area.

Michael O'Shea: люблю здесь людей, теплых и дружелюбных. Приятно пойти в место, где люди практикуют то, чему учат x

Cris Azzola: Центр медитации Кадампа — это красивое, спокойное место, которое позволяет мне отдохнуть от напряженного дня, чтобы освоить навыки медиации и попрактиковаться с дружелюбными людьми. Они создают очень гостеприимную атмосферу, независимо от того, являетесь ли вы начинающим медиатором или опытным практикующим специалистом. Мне нравится узнавать о буддийской практике, и я посещал занятия у Келсанга Шинчока, и это было потрясающе! Это помогло мне углубить мои навыки посредничества и научило тому, как применять древние буддийские принципы, чтобы преуспевать в современном мире. Постоянно предлагаются новые занятия, и я с нетерпением жду возможности изучить еще больше замечательных тем!

Reuben Alvear: Семь лет назад я впервые ступил в KMC SF, и меня сразу успокоила гостеприимная, практичная и практичная атмосфера практически всех, кого я встретил. Я постоянно развиваю здесь свою медитативную практику, потому что учения обладают сверхъестественной способностью соотноситься с вещами, которые в настоящее время протекают через мои эмоциональные и умственные потоки.

Tomoko Saeki: . Мне очень нравится здесь находиться, и я так благодарна, что этот центр стал моим вторым домом.

Antoine Sindhu: KMC - невероятное место. Несколько лет назад я заинтересовался медитацией и попробовал посещать занятия по медитации в нескольких центрах Сан-Франциско. Ни один из них не нашел у меня особого отклика, пока я не нашел вечернее занятие во вторник в KMC. Это сочетание инструкций по медитации для начинающих и обсуждения некоторых аспектов буддийского учения или дхармы.Попробовав занятия медитацией и дхармой в разных местах, я могу сказать, что KMC, безусловно, самый полезный, по крайней мере, лично для меня. Мало внимания уделяется ритуалам или доктрине, а гораздо больше внимания уделяется тому, чтобы каждый почувствовал себя желанным и принятым, а также простым, доступным и практическим учениям. Постоянный учитель, Ген Чома, просто потрясающий – у нее есть способ представить древнюю мудрость буддизма в ясной, систематической, совершенно современной и доступной форме. Это не религиозная проповедь для группы, смотрящей внутрь себя, это мощный и практический жизненный совет, данный в максимально открытой и сердечной форме.Возможно, разные люди хотят или ожидают разного от медитации или буддийских центров. Что я могу сказать наверняка, так это то, что этот центр – абсолютно лучшее место, если вы ищете простой, доступный и практичный способ улучшить свою жизнь и стать лучше, не обязательно полностью погружаясь в буддизм или всем сердцем принимая весь мистицизм, ритуалы и традиции, которые поначалу могут показаться вам пугающими или непонятными. Учения вечера вторника всегда логичны и напрямую применимы, чтобы помочь вам справиться с повседневными жизненными трудностями, например, построить значимые отношения с другими людьми, справиться с трудными обстоятельствами или людьми, развить больше счастья и радости в своей жизни и т. д.А если вы хотите пойти дальше, есть полный календарь событий, которые глубже погружают в буддийскую традицию.

Paul Burke: - получить благословения от этого конкретного Будды. Это также отличный способ узнать о традициях.Я с нетерпением жду встречи с вами там!

Kristy Earnest: Мне нравится здесь. Так удобно и разумно. Проверьте расписание быстрой медитации........

Berkeley Shambhala Meditation Center: what do users think?

Leema Shrestha: I live in Kathmandu, Nepal with my loving husband and two children.I started this meditation method at the main centre in South Korea two years ago. Since then, I have been continuing to meditate remotely with Berkeley Meditation. Meditating alone and remotely is not very easy but due to the constant guidance from Berkeley center and my determination for completion, I am now in level 5 of the meditation method.In the past two years, people around me have seen lots of changes in me. I have also seen many changes in myself- I feel like I can understand other people's perspective more and interact with them accordingly. I can prioritize what is more important to me. I am more patient and calmer now. I don't worry about my future as much and I try to live in the present and enjoy every moment.This meditation method has been an eye-opener for me to renew myself. The method is the key to awaken myself and make me aware of who I am. It is a hope for life and a recharger for me whenever I am frustrated, demotivated and demoralised. So I am very thankful to the meditation method.

Willi Brown: Sanity and community served here since like... '75. Meditation instruction and practice, dharma Art!, tea, inclusivity, kindness, wisdom trainings.

Wyatt Hodges: Highly recommend if you have any interest in meditation. Wednesdays and Sundays offer free instruction, and everyone I have met here has been very welcoming

Michael Webber: , with the social vision of a perfectible society

Michael Rowley: Well Balanced as central theme.

Mina Dadgar: Great place to learn how mediate. Free mediation instruction on wed evenings and Sunday mornings.
