Whether you are completely new to meditation and want to learn the basics, or an advanced practitioner looking to deepen your practice, the Rockland Shambhala Meditation Center welcomes you. Join us for weekly sitting, study groups, special events, and the Way Of Shambhala training programs. We also have one-on-one meditation instruction available.
All programs are offered under the auspices of the Brunswick-Portland Shambhala Center. Shambhala is a registered service mark of Shambhala International (Vajradhatu), a nonprofit organization with more than 200 Shambhala Meditation Centers worldwide.
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939-1987)--a Tibetan Buddhist master, scholar, poet, teacher, and artist--founded Shambhala in the United States in 1970. Sakong Mipham Rinpoche, the son of Chogyam Trungpa, is the current holder of the Shambhala Buddhist lineage, as well as the Kagyü and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism.
Shambhala Vision is rooted in the principle that every human being has a fundamental nature of basic goodness. This nature can be developed in daily life so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society.
