Upcoming California events:

Bay Area Meditation and Buddhism

Aro offers a variety of events and resources for learning meditation and Buddhism in the San Francisco Bay Area. Events are listed below left. See this page for what to expect.

We meet most Monday evenings in Alameda for meditation practice, often with a brief teaching.

Our free email meditation course is a thorough, practical, gentle introduction to meditation, from the Dzogchen Tibetan Buddhist perspective.

Twice a year, we sponsor visits from the Aro Lama Ngak’chang Rinpoche, who gives talks and leads a weekend retreat.

Events are also led by the three ordained Aro teachers who live in Alameda, Berkeley, and Contra Costa County.
