Dzogchen Meditation Center

Dzogchen Meditation Center is a residential training and retreat center in West Bath, ME, offering authentic meditation practices and teachings from the Maha Ati and Mahamudra schools of Tibetan and Indian Buddhism. Founded by direct students of Vidyadhara Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, the center maintains the unique and complete transmission of the Surmang Kagyu and Shambhala lineages, providing a space for individuals to engage in transformative meditation retreats. As practitioners in the lineage of Trungpa Rinpoche, Dzogchen Meditation Center emphasizes the practice of meditation over intellectual study, offering a variety of retreats, including the rare one-month dathun retreat. The center also incorporates the secular Shambhala teachings, which recognize and engage the expression of basic goodness in various forms of human art, spirituality, and culture, while maintaining a nontheistic perspective. With a focus on non reference point experience and wisdom, Dzogchen Meditation Center provides a supportive environment for individuals seeking to deepen their meditation practice and connect with the sacred world.Generated from the website
