Shambhala Meditation Group of Buffalo
Shambhala Meditation Group of Buffalo has evolved since 1999, becoming an official member of Shambhala International in June 2009.
The worldwide community of over 200 meditation centres on five continents provide meditation instruction and the opportunity to develop awareness and compassion in everyday life. Founded by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche during the early 1970s, the head of Shambhala International is now Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, son and heir of the Vidyadhara.
Our Buffalo group is bound by both Lake Erie and the Niagara River. The waterfront city is also just twenty miles from Niagara Falls and home to several colleges, universities, museums and parks...as well as a growing arts community.
We meet in the historic Allentown neighborhood at the The C.G. Jung Center in their victorian era home. This location is distinguished by a three hundred year old sycamore tree that is reported to be the oldest tree in Buffalo. We are happy to be a part of this rich and diverse community, including the network of other local buddhist meditation groups.
