Welcome

Long Beach Meditation

In accord with the living example of our original teacher, the Buddha, we affirm the possibility of an awakened life. From this point of realization we extend an open invitation to join us in the ancient and subtle practice of meditation.

Together we seek a reality where outward universe and inmost consciousness no longer stand opposed, a world where confusion and distress no longer hinder us from finding our place in the great mystery of human life, and a true community of kindness and compassion where all are welcome.
