Shambhala Meditation Center of Denver

Why Meditate?

Our mind affects everything that we do, yet the role it plays goes largely unnoticed since its presence is subtle and pervasive. It is like the background of the sky in which clouds move, sometimes peacefully and sometimes with great turbulence. It is through the practice of meditation that we become familiar with our mind and the way that it affects our life.

Mindfulness meditation is the foundation of all that we do at the Shambhala Meditation Center of Denver. Originating from Shakyamuni Buddha, this 2,500 year-old practice of self-discovery is rooted in one simple but revolutionary premise...

Every human being has the ability to cultivate the mind's inherent stability, clarity and strength in order to be more awake and compassionate in everyday life. This happens through the practice of sitting meditation.
