The Shambhala Meditation Center Los Angeles offers practice and study in the lineage of Shambhala Buddhism, unique in the world of Western Buddhism. This lineage combines the teachings of the Kagyü and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism with the Shambhala view of living an uplifted life, fully engaged with the world. We are part of Shambhala International, an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded by the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and now led by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Read more about our lineage.

Please come and MEDITATE at our main Center in Eagle Rock and with our Westside group in Santa Monica. Free meditation instruction is available, as well as a wide variety of classes and programs in meditation, Buddhist and Shambhala teachings, and many other disciplines. Drop in on any of our weekly programs for newcomers.

Please send us an email or call us at 323-255-5472 if you have any questions about the Shambhala Center.
