The Buddhist Meditation Society of Northern BC welcomes anyone interested in meditation to join us for weekly practice.

Known informally as the Open Door Sangha, our purpose is to ‘open the door’ to Buddhist practice by providing a suitable space for regular formal meditation, and by bringing people in touch with a rich history and qualified teachers. Traditional meditative practices are unfamiliar to many Westerners. Even the simple act of sitting still can be very difficult initially. However, those who stick with it find that deep benefits appear as practice matures.

Our organization is composed of two individual meditation groups (Vipassana and Zen), each embodying its own particular forms and practices, with a common purpose of sharing the benefits of meditation with anyone who wishes to learn.
