Spiritual Director: Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
Notes and Events:
The Saint John Shambhala Meditation Group is a local group of meditation practioners inspired by the Shambhala Buddhist teachings of basic goodness and enlightened society. We are affliated with Shambhala International whose spiritual head is the Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
Our community of meditation practioners meets Wednesday evenings at 7:00-9:00 to strengthen our individual practice and learn more about meditation. We meet in "The Sitting Room" at 42 Wentworth St. near King St. E. We meditate together for an hour, followed by tea and discussion or contemplation based on selected readings.
Instruction is provided for newcomers in "shamatha" meditation, or the practice of "peaceful abiding". Meditation is a natural state of the human mind - at rest, open, alert. The basic meditation technique predates all religious traditions, though it is used in one way or another by each of them. Undertaken as a steady practice, meditation allows the mind to relax and settle. It encourages our inherent qualities of stability, clarity and mental strength to emerge.
Occasionally we host weekend meditation programs directed by senior teachers. These activities are usually coordinated with other Shambhala centers in the Maritime region with whom we share resources and maintain contact. Please check our website to see if there are any upcoming programs in the near future.

Spiritual Director: 7th Kundrol Rinpoche
Main Contact: Deborah Bell Email (Phone: 4167043836)
Notes and Events:
Za Mongyal Yundrung Ling is Kundrol Rinpoche\\\'s monastery in Kham, Tibet. He also established a gompa in Dehradun, India in 2003 with the help and blessings of His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, the spiritual leader of Bon and Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche.
In Canada, we are working towards building a gompa. Currently, Rinpoche travels to Canada each year to do a retreat with his students. Kündröl Rinpoche is the seventh reincarnation of the great Kundröl Jatson Nyingpo of Tibet. Kündröl Jatson Nyingpo was a great terton, revealer of hidden treasures and founder of the great seat of learning Mongyal Monastery in Tibet. Since the birth of the first Kündröl Rinpoche in 1700 AD, reincarnations of the Rinpoche have successively appeared to uphold the wheel of compassionate teachings of the Bon for the benefit of all sentient beings. The depth of the great deeds of Kundrol Rinpoche and the vastness of his knowledge are the signs that he is truly the great Terchen Kündröl Hung Chen Dodhul Lingpa in a different physical form.
