    Awake and Aware

    Twenty-six hundred years ago the Buddha himself said
    anybody could become awake, liberated, enlightened.

    Sangha Live, Living Community

     Thich Nhat Hanh says the Buddha of the future, Maitreya (loving-kindness, 
    friendliness), is the Sangha Community. What could be more inclusive
    and egalitarian than that? Sangha practice and community are like
    the third jewel of the Buddhist Refuge we rely on.

    For more information, including schedule, please visit our website here.

    Our live retreats are open to new and seasoned
    practitioners in any spiritual tradition.

Private Teaching Sessions with Lama Surya Das


Lama Surya Das offers private teaching sessions throughout the week conducted via Zoom.
All sessions are offered at a professional hourly rate in one hour segments, allowing students
the opportunity to discuss personally how to progress on their spiritual path through mindfulness
instruction, self-inquiry, the development of altruism, and by bringing Liberating Dharma wisdom
into their daily lives. Students receive guidance with their meditation practice, spiritual direction,
advice on resources, and are free to discuss challenges they are facing.

If you are interested in booking a private session with Lama,
please email Kathleen Albanese for rates and availability at kathleen@surya.org




Meditation Town Hall

Our treasured Dzogchen wisdom tradition teaches that we are profoundly, inseparably
interconnected–with all the challenges and joys that entails. This is more apparent than
ever in the current global pandemic. During this time we are deeply aware of our need for
community, and for connecting to that which is larger and longer-lasting than our current crisis.

Please join Lama Surya Das and our community for this FREE weekly offering.

EVERY SUNDAY from 11:00am - 12:00pm (U.S. Eastern Time)

Lama Surya will lead us in meditation and prayers and offer a short teaching.
This event is open to all and free of charge; donations to support Dzogchen Center
are gratefully accepted. We invite you to send any questions you would like
answered during the hour session to foundation@dzogchen.org.
Lama Surya will try to respond to as many as possible.
