The Shambhala Centre of Vancouver combines the Dharmadhatu Buddhist Meditation Centre (founded in 1975) and the Shambhala Training Meditation Program (founded in 1980). Both are guided by life and teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and the students and teachers he inspired. We have operated from our present storefront location at 17th and Heather Street for the past 30 years. A lot of just sitting meditation has taken place on the cushions here, in Vancouver, as well as Shambhala Training programs, classes in Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, Ikebana, children's programs, and visits from teachers and meditation masters.
