Mission Dharma is a long-standing sangha in San Francisco's Mission District, led by esteemed teacher Howard Cohn, that has been gathering for over 38 years. This community comes together on Tuesday nights for meditation and Buddhist teachings, supporting each other in the journey of awakening to live with greater mindfulness, compassion, and joy.

With a welcoming atmosphere and no prior meditation experience required, Mission Dharma offers a forty-minute meditation period followed by Q&A and a Dharma talk led by Howie or a visiting teacher. While there is a suggested dana offering of $5-$25 to support the sangha's operating costs and teachers, no one is ever turned away due to lack of funds, ensuring inclusivity for individuals from all financial backgrounds.

I've been attending Mission Dharma for over three years now, and it is my favorite sangha in SF. If you are looking for a welcoming, warm place to try insight meditation or to share a current...
