Śamatha: Meditation in the Vajrayāna Buddhist Tradition

Śamatha — or “calm abiding” — is the essential starting point for any meditation journey. Rooted in the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, this six-week course will guide you through the step-by-step development of stable, focused awareness — the kind that brings clarity, calm, and confidence both on and off the cushion. Whether you're completely new to meditation, seeking greater independence from guided recordings, or simply looking to deepen your current practice through an exceptional text, this course is designed to meet you right where you are. We’ll be working with Khenpo Gyaltsen’s short, practical guide “How to Practice Śamatha and Its Benefits” (a PDF copy will be provided).
