Welcome
Welcome to the Edmonton Shambhala Meditation Centre. We are a small but friendly centre offering an uplifting environment in which to explore meditation and the qualities it can bring to your life.
The Edmonton Shambhala Meditation Centre is part of an international community of meditation centers founded by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master, and now led by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
Our center is located near downtown Edmonton at the west end of Jasper Avenue at 10110 - 124 Street. We offer free Meditation sessions, as well as training in core Buddhist and Shambhala teachings.
We offer free meditation instruction, classes in Buddhist Studies and Shambhala Training-- a progressive series of weekend secular workshops that help students establish a personal meditation practice aimed at engaging more fully and compassionately in the world.
For more information about these or other other upcoming events, visit the programs page to explore the variety of evening and weekend programs intended to awaken people’s innate wisdom, compassion and sense of humour.
You are most welcome to join us.

Throughout history, human beings have aspired to create societies that express their inherent dignity and goodness. It is this vision that we refer to as Shambhala. The Shambhala teachings are based on the idea that every human being has within them basic sanity, gentleness, and humour. Because of this we welcome everyone, of all ages, traditions and walks of life.
"Who wouldn't want a mind that is clear, strong and stable?"
