WHAT'S NEW

 

Join us  for our first Refuge Retreat! June 1-3...  

Going for Refuge or Taking Refuge in the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha is considered the most basic expression of faith by all Buddhists.  It is the first step in developing a Buddhist practice. A retreat is a time to step out of our customary routine and immerse ourselves fully in meditation and contemplation with our spiritual friends. More info...

 

New series in Palm Desert: "Healing Our Relationships"  

Our relationships provide the grounding for our lives, yet we often feel the most stress in relation to those we work with, live with, and spend our free time with. These classes will provide time-proven ways of healing the problems we have in our relationships. More info...


We are happy to announce three new services...  Dorje-Shugden

Each month, we will be offering a Powa Ceremony, where we offer prayers for those who have died in the past month. The 29th of every month is Long Protector Day, with a special celebration of the Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugdän. On the 15th of every month, we will be offering the taking of Precepts, vows to practice moral discipline for 24 hours.

 

Prostrations and Heart Jewel Prayer are now offered every day at 7am and 7:30am in Palm Springs

Now you can drop in before work and get your day started right! More info...

 

 

Classes

 

Our weekly classes are fun and easy to understand, and are designed to help you react more positively to life's challenges.


Every class includes guided meditations for relaxation and for learning new skills, along with an introduction to Buddhist thought. Each class is self contained, so come whenever you can. Everybody is welcome. No previous experience is required.
