FOR INNER PEACE

A SANCTUARY

Peace begins within

The happiness we seek already exists within us

For more than three decades, the Dhammakaya Meditation Center California has welcomed people of all backgrounds to find inner peace and purpose through meditation. In that time, our community has grown into a refuge where thousands have found healing and inspiration.

Community is the heart of spiritual practice

To ensure that all who come can practice in a calm, spacious, and serene environment, a new meditation hall is being built that can accommodate up to 300 people. This hall will be designed to support meditation events, Buddhist ceremonies, and other activities for the benefit of both the local and global community.

“Meditation brings me back to the present moment. Every time I sit here, I remember I’m exactly where I need to be.”

Dhammakaya Meditation Hall

• A center for sharing the Buddha’s teachings and Dhammakaya knowledge worldwide.

• A center for cultivating future heirs of the faith.

• A sanctuary for realizing the Dhamma within.

• A supportive, serene space for building spiritual merit.

A Space for Collective Healing

The Dhammakaya Meditation Hall is thoughtfully designed to facilitate inner stillness and deep meditation. It will be a place for thousands of people to come together for personal reflection and collective healing through meditation, mindfulness, and Buddhist events.

Practice is easier in community. Our weekly schedule includes guided meditation classes, wisdom talks for daily living, and Buddhist ceremonies such as alms offering and robe offering. Each month, we host candlelight meditations for peace, along with seasonal Thai cultural gatherings. Bring a friend, meet your neighbors, and be a part of our meditation community.
