Denver Shambhala

Denver Shambhala Why Meditate? Our mind affects everything that we do, yet the role it plays goes largely unnoticed since its presence is subtle and pervasive.

The Shambhala Meditation Center of Denver is part of an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. It is like the background of the sky in which clouds move, sometimes peacefully and sometimes with great turbulence. It is through the practice of meditation that we become familiar with our mind and the way that it affects our life. Mindfulness meditation is the foundation of all that we do at the Shambhala Meditation Center of Denver. Originating from Shakyamuni Buddha, this 2,500 year-old practice of self-discovery is rooted in one simple but revolutionary premise...

Every human being has the ability to cultivate the mind's inherent stability, clarity and strength in order to be more awake and compassionate in everyday life. This happens through the practice of sitting meditation.

In response to the suffering of the world and its inhabitants, Pema Chödrön calls us to commit ourselves to developing bodhicitta – awakening our open hearts – so that we can be available and helpful to ourselves and others.

She will facilitate discussions on how to learn about our own heart and mind through study, practice, contemplation.

Learn or refresh your connection to the practice of meditation this January. As taught by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, based on archival talks in the summer of 1974, these presentations retain the same freshness and dynamism as when they were first brought from Tibet to the West, and are a reminder of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s incomparable mastery at communicating Buddhist teachings to a Western audience. These short talks will be supported by further commentary and facilitated discussions by some of today’s leading teachers of Buddhism in the West, many of whom were actually present during these talks in 1974, including: Pema Chödron, Dale Asrael, Ashley Dinges, June Crow, Lödro Dorje, Gaylon Ferguson, Arawana Hayashi, Marty Janowitz, Larry Mermelstein, and Judith Simmer-Brown.
