Welcome to
Bellingham
Shambhala
The Bellingham Shambhala Meditation Center is part of an international Shambhala community of meditation centres founded in 1973 by the Tibetan meditation master, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and now led by his son and lineage holder, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
The vision of Shambhala is based on the wisdom, sanity and compassion that comes from mindfulness-awareness meditation. It proclaims that our lives are workable and even wonderful. Through the path of meditation, we can touch our inherent sanity and by sharing that with others, actually create an enlightened society. The Shambhala community is a support for all who aspire to follow this path.
We provide an open meditation space, instruction in meditation for beginners or experienced practitioners, and a diverse variety of evening and weekend programs that help provide the tools to discover compassion and wisdom in day-to-day life.
