​RBC Golden Light Meditation
Thursday - 6:30 - 7:30pm   Just click the Go TO RBC button above.
This an interactive virtual meditation group connected by interactive video link.  We present traditional meditation techniques of sitting and walking meditation with clear intention. 

All levels of experience are welcome.  Please enter the meditation space quietly to help create a peaceful environment. There will be times for interaction as indicated by the meditation leader.

A normal session consists of an invocation, a 20 minute Mindfulness sitting, followed by a shorter walking meditation and then a second sitting - tea and question time will follow.  

​Please understand that in our Shin Buddhist tradition we teach and practice meditation as a healthful centering activity. We consider it spiritually neutral and not a process of “perfecting the individual”.  You are already ok, just as you are.

Dana [donation]  is encouraged as is customary at any meditation hall.  Please help support our center.
