At Dekeling (day-kay-ling) we actively welcome people of diverse backgrounds, identities, ages and levels of experience with Buddhism. We’re not here to ask you to believe anything or join anything. You are encouraged to engage and then create your own relationship to Buddhism, its principles and practices.

If you’re new to Buddhism, consider joining us on a Monday evening. Beginner-level instructions are given and we meditate together for a little less than an hour (both in-person and on Zoom). After a tea break, we have a discussion, in which we encourage thoughtful questions and answers on any topic or experience related to dharma practice and its application to our lives. Our second and fourth Monday’s of each month at at Heart of Wisdom Temple. Every Monday evening is live-streamed.

In this way, we get to know each other, share our stories, and enrich each other’s lives. Together we set the stage for awakening. All are welcome.
