Ideally, meditation instruction is best given in person, where there is an opportunity to have an experienced meditator pay attention to posture, answer questions, and arrange to check in as experience deepens. People in the area wishing to learn to meditate are encouraged to drop in at the Davis Shambhala Meditation Center any Thursday at 7pm, Sunday at 9am, or by appointment when personal meditation instruction is available with no charge. The following links are offered as resources to people in addition to personal instruction in mindfulness/awareness mediation, (shamatha/vipashyana) and for those who for whatever reason find face-to-face instruction is not possible but who are still interested in learning to meditate.
