Welcome The Shambhala
Meditation Center of San Francisco is part of an international community of urban
meditation and rural retreat centers founded in 1973 by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan
Buddhist meditation master, artist, author, and poet. 
The Shambhala Center in San Francisco is one of twelve affiliated Shambhala
Meditation Centers and Groups organized as Northern California
Shambhala. We offer free public meditation, a core curriculum of
Buddhist and Shambhala teachings, as well as training in advanced
contemplative practices. You are invited to explore our diverse programs
designed to help San Franciscans of all traditions discover their
inherent sanity, gentleness and humor.
Our center has recently relocated to 1231 Stevenson Street at Gough Street in the heart of San Francisco on January 31, 2010.
