| Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Shambhala Meditation Centre of Mississauga. We are part of Shambhala International, a worldwide community of over 170 meditation centres. We provide free meditation instruction twice a week, Sunday mornings and Monday evenings. We also offer regular group meditation sittings, informal talks, and courses. Through these means, we explore the possibility of infusing our everyday activities with wisdom, compassion and a sense of humour.
Shambhala vision is rooted in the contemplative teachings of Buddhism, yet is a fresh expression of the spiritual journey for our time. Our community includes people of all ages and walks of life who were looking for something – perhaps meditation instruction, a place to meditate regularly, talks and courses about developing awareness and compassion, a spiritual path, or a group of like-minded people to talk to. You are warmly invited to join us.
