Dallas Shambhala Center

The Dallas Shambhala Meditation Center (DSMC) is part of Shambhala International, a community of meditation centers founded in 1973 by Ch๖gyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master, artist, author, and poet. Today, the Shambhala tradition is carried on by Trungpa Rinpoche's son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

The Shambhala Buddhist community welcomes people of any spiritual background or way of life. We offer a variety of ways to engage in Shambhala Buddhist practice. We emphasize a commitment to the practice of sitting meditation as a way to awaken our true nature and actualize it in our daily lives. We invite you to join us in this wonderful journey.
