On Sunday afternoons, Long Beach Meditation offers a meditation practice followed by a Dharma Talk. Each week features one of our established teachers, or occasionally, a guest. All instructors provide teachings drawn from various major streams of the Buddhist tradition.

This class is designed to support participants in their journey of awakening, offering guidance and the energy to engage in this challenging work. After a welcoming introduction, the bell rings to signal the start of a 30-minute silent meditation, sourced from the Zen and Vipassana traditions. Following the meditation, there’s a short break to stretch, enjoy tea, and chat with others. We then return to our seats for a Dharma Talk, followed by a discussion and a Q&A session. Dharma Talks offer all participants inspiration and guidance, rooted in experiential learning. We conclude with a brief metta chant for those who wish to join:

May all beings be happy and safe from harm.
May all beings be healthy in body and in mind.
May all beings be peaceful and free from suffering.

This class is suitable for all levels of experience and is held both in person and online. All are welcome and no one is turned away for lack of funds.

In Person and Online Sundays 3:00PM – 4:00PM (PST)
