Welcome to Dharma Center
Dharma Center has been dedicated to sharing the teachings of meditation and mindfulness since its establishment in 1998. Our organization operates as a volunteer-based, tax-exempt temple committed to spiritual growth and community enrichment through Trikaya Buddhism. We provide accessible meditation classes and mindfulness practices to individuals from all walks of life, both online and in-person at our San Diego location. Our teachers, who have earned wisdom through personal practice and study, offer diverse approaches to help students connect with their authentic spiritual nature. As a self-sustaining organization, we rely on tuition fees and member contributions to maintain our services and expand our reach.We offer weekly Zoom classes, in-person sessions on Saturdays and select Sundays, and special member-only retreats and events. Our Sangha Days foster community engagement through social activities that support the Center's mission. We maintain a private Member Oasis in Discord for enhanced interaction and provide access to past dharma talks. All our efforts focus on creating a sanctuary for spiritual practice and personal transformation. Your participation through classes, membership, or donations directly supports our ongoing work to spread light and awareness in the world.
