Welcome to the Boulder Shambhala Center

“According to the Buddhist tradition, we don’t ever get new wisdom, nor does any foreign element come into our state of mind at all. Rather, practice is a question of waking up and shedding our covers. We have those goodies in us already; we only have to uncover them.”  

     —Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Founder of the Shambhala Tradition

Boulder Shambhala Center’s COVID-19 Protocols

The Boulder Shambhala Center is closed to the public at this time as renovations are in process.

We continue to be open to Sangha members who are fully vaccinated Sangha and participating in in-person and hybrid programs and practice sessions. Proof of vaccination or medical exemption is required. Please arrive wearing a mask. Masks may be removed once settled on one’s meditation seat. As the Center approaches completion over the next month of our extensive renovations, we look forward to resuming regular weekday open hours and evening meditation at the start of the New Year. Please check our Calendar for scheduled programs and practice session.
