Asheville Shambhala Meditation Center

Asheville Shambhala Meditation Center is a meditation center within the wider Shambhala community, grounded in meditation practice and the view that human beings are basically good. It offers a contemplative, community-centered setting shaped by Shambhala and Buddhist teachings, with an emphasis on study, practice, and the cultivation of an awake, compassionate society. As part of a global network rooted in the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, the center reflects a lineage-based approach that brings together meditation, community life, retreats, seminars, and ongoing spiritual training.
