Laying Foundations

Meditation is the basis of all Buddhist practices. From the time of the Buddha until today, countless men and women have practiced meditation and personally discovered the innate goodness or pure nature the Buddha sought to show us. The meditation techniques of shamatha and vipashyana offer a practical method for awakening to the peace and clarity of our true nature. By breaking through the circle of our self-absorbed distraction and connecting with the open space of insight, qualities such as strength, wisdom and compassion naturally dawn.
