Seattle Buddhist Center

I’ve attended Zen and other ‘non-​denominational’ Buddhist sanghas, and never have I felt such a strong sense of community and warmth as I have found in the Triratna order. I began practicing with them in San Francisco after a fellow friend found their meditation and dharma talks for depression. Since then, I’ve made a concerted effort to always sit it on their sangha nights wherever and whenever I can – so far, in New York, New Hampshire and Seattle. Each local community continues to demonstrate the same values and genuine support for those seeking to understand themselves and their place in the world better. I highly recommend the Seattle Triratna group to anyone looking to deepen their meditation practice and increase awareness; to learn more skillful ways of dealing with anxiety and depression; and/​or to explore the ‘meaning of life’ within a group of mindful and inquisitive folks reflecting on the dharma. Sangha nights meditation and discussion, day retreats, and beginner’s classes all available.
