We teach and practice a type of meditation known as Mahasati
meditation. Mahasati in Pali means "great awareness" which
is a form of Vipassana or Insight meditation which
originates in Southeast Asia. Mahasati meditation cultivates
self-awareness initially through attention to the movement
of the body and, at intermediate and more advanced levels,
to the movement of the mind. This ultimately leads to a
direct and profound understanding of the origins of
suffering in human experience and points the way toward
ultimate liberation.
Meditation classes and workshops are led by ordained Buddhist meditation masters from the Thai Theravada tradition.
While Mahasati meditation has its roots in Buddhism, it may be practiced conjointly with other forms of religious practice.
