The Akron-Canton Shambhala Meditation Center is a part of an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded by Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche and headed by Sakyong Mipham, Rinpoche. We are part of a global community which aspires to awaken kindness, goodness and wisdom within society.
This vision is rooted in the principle that every human being has a fundamental nature of basic goodness.
We invite you to explore our diverse programs designed to help people of all traditions discover their inherent sanity, gentleness and humor.
