Burbank In-Person Community Meditation

Join our community for meditation practice.

Sessions will open with a few brief chants (in English). There will be periods of silent sitting meditation alternating with walking meditation, contemplation practice and discussion. The last half hour there’ll be snacks and time to socialize.  All are warmly welcome!

Meditation instruction will be available. People are welcome to arrive and leave at any time to fit their schedule.

Basic format – times approximate:

10:00 am – Welcome, Chants (in English) followed by brief guided meditation instruction
10:10 am – Sitting and Walking Meditation
11:45 am – Contemplation Practice and Discussion
12:30 pm – Community Social Time

Every first Sunday on the month includes tonglen instruction and practice. Tonglen is a traditional Buddhist compassion practice meaning “sending and taking”. We breathe in others pain or suffering so they can be well and then breathe out happiness, joy, or whatever will relieve the suffering. Tonglen is best practiced with the support of a meditation community.
