Shambhala Center Membership

Membership involves joining a community committed to cultivating mindfulness, awareness and compassion personally and in society. It is a commitment to exploring the path of a Shambhala Buddhist practitioner. This exploration has three main components, including a willingness to:

1) Undertake regular mindfulness-awareness practice. This is the best way for all of us to support our Shambhala communities, our world, and ourselves.

2) Give regular financial support to our Shambhala community, based on our income and other financial obligations. Providing financial support to the Center is viewed as a part of our practice.

3) Donate our time to various tasks the Shambhala community needs accomplished, based on our abilities and time availability. Providing service to the Center likewise becomes a part of our practice.

While membership is primarily an expression of generosity there are also many personal benefits from becoming a member of the Boston Shambhala Center, such as:

- An initial 20% off all programs at the Shambhala Meditation Center of Boston and other Shambhala Centers worldwide (discounts may vary)

- Access to our pay-what-you-can program for any programs which are still not affordable

- Invitations to special members events and parties

- Access to a personal meditation instructor

- Access to our audio library of talks by lineage holders such as Chogyam Trunpga Rinpoche, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, acharyas, and local teachers

- Discounts on yoga and tai chi classes offered at the Shambhala Center

While there are recommended monthly dues suggested you are welcome to join as a member at any amount. To read the words of some of our members about why they joined please click here.
