Who We Are, What We Do, and Where We Do It

We are a diverse group of individuals of all ages from all backgrounds who simply have an interest in what Geshe Dorjee and his fellow monks have to teach us. We meet every Sunday at Passages at 11:00 a.m. for meditation, instruction, and discussion. Passages is difficult to find, but its actual address is 14 Meadow Street, between East St. and College Ave. Typically, we are finished betweeen 12:30 and 1:00 p.m. Some of us are Buddhists, some of us are not, and all are welcome. You may bring a cushion if you have one, but we provide cushions for those who do not.
