May all beings have happiness and the cause of happiness
May all beings be free from suffering and the cause of suffering
May all beings never be separate from joy that knows no sorrow
May all beings abide in equanimity free from attachment and hatred
Austin Dharmata Sangha offers meditation practice and guidance, study programs, and retreats for all who are interested. Our practices are grounded in the Mahayana tradition, specifically Tibetan Buddhism’s Nyingma school and Dudjom Lingpa’s lineage. Everyone is welcome. We are volunteer-run and follow the spiritual guidance of Anam Thubten Rinpoche, whose home base is Point Richmond. CA.

"It is amazing how even though we are not occupying the same physical space, and are in fact spread across the country, we have created a relational field which is wonderfully generative for all of us. It sets the tone for the rest of the day." - Gloria Vera
Weekly Meditation Groups
We meet in person the first and third Sundays from 10 A.M. - noon (Central Time) for meditation practice followed by a Dharma talk and discussion. We also have an online option every Sunday and the second and fourth Sundays of the month.
Coffee, tea, and (usually) snacks are available. Occasionally we have a potluck after sangha. When we meet in person, volunteers come early at 9:30 A.M. to set up. Everyone is always welcome!

For as long as space endures
And for as long as living beings remain
Until then may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world.
