Buddhist Meditation & Community Nights

The MahaSiddha Center is our residential meditation community and Dharma Center located in the heart of Berkeley. Just a few blocks from UC Berkeley, this house opened in December, 2005. It is home to 10 residents who host a weekly public meditation class, daily morning meditation practice, retreats, health courses and teachings.

Residents practice meditation together each morning. Throughout the rest of the day, residents carry on with their ordinary lives, attending to jobs, families and their creative endeavors. The daily practice of meditation is a life-transforming experience. Yet maintaining that commitment is not always easy when our lives and schedules are not oriented around sitting meditation. Our residential program is oriented around daily group meditation practice for working people with full schedules. Residents meet five days a week for group practice, individual practice is pursued on the weekends.

The nearest airports are Oakland Airport and San Francisco airport both less than twenty-thirty minutes drive. Public transportation is ample in Berkeley, if taking the BART, stop at the Downtown Berkeley Station and go south on Shattuck for about four blocks and make a left on Channing. It is about three blocks up on the right, before telegraph, the big yellow house with the tall prayer flag in the center of the yard. Several public parking lots are available on Channing Way.
