Wednesday Evenings at 7:30pm EST:

Join Bhante Chandrawansa for an evening of meditation and study, hosted at the Philadelphia Meditation Center in Havertown. We begin with a period of meditation. We then turn to Sutta Study, exploring the Buddha’s discourses with Bhante’s guidance—reading, reflecting, and discussing how these timeless teachings illuminate our practice and daily lives. All levels are welcome, including those new to the suttas.

This is a hybrid gathering—join us in person or via Zoom. Zoom link is below.

We begin with a Guided Meditation—a period of guided and silent meditation open to everyone, whether you’ve been practicing for years or are sitting for the very first time. No experience is needed; just come as you are.

Following the sit, we gather for our Buddhist Book Club. Our first book is Dipa Ma: The Life and Legacy of a Buddhist Master by Amy Schmidt—the story of Dipa Ma, a widowed mother who, through profound determination, became one of the most influential meditation teachers of the twentieth century and a guiding light for many Western teachers. Together we’ll explore her teachings, share questions, and consider how her example of fearless practice speaks to our own lives. Whether you’ve finished the chapter or are just curious, you’re welcome to join the conversation or simply listen.

All are welcome. Come for the sit, stay for the discussion, or join us for both.

“Be your own refuge.”
