The Victoria Shambhala Meditation Centre is part of an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centres founded in 1973 by Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and now led by his son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

The vision of the Shambhala lineage is based on the wisdom and compassion of the meditation tradition. It proclaims that our lives are workable and even wonderful. Through the path of meditation we can touch our inherent sanity and by sharing that with others we can create an enlightened society.

The Shambhala community is a support for those who aspire to follow this path.

We invite you to find out more about who we are by visiting the rest of our site.

The Centre is located at the corner of Belmont Ave. and Pembroke St.
(in the former Belmont United Church building).
