For 20 years Mindfulness Meditation Centers has served as a compassionate and wise source of classical Buddhist teachings closely aligned with its heart essence but delivered in a modern context. We offer everything from foundational mindfulness meditation practices to advanced retreats and programs that are focused on compassionate enlightenment. All of our programs are offered in person and online through our interactive learning program. Our main meditation center is in Julian California, located just an hour East of San Diego.  Mindfulness Meditation Centers was established by Lama Chokyi Dhakpa (Michael Gregory) and his senior students with the blessings of H.H. 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje. Our Paths of Participation offer the opportunity to explore the foundations of meditation and Buddhism or to deeply immerse yourself in the heart of the teachings of enlightenment. Teachings are offered by wise, compassionate and experienced teachers who have been trained by Lama Chokyi Dhakpa (Michael Gregory) and have completed many long term silent retreats. Teachings reflect the curriculum that is offered in major Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Monasteries. Clear and lucid meditation instructions, teachings and insights provide the very pith of the Buddhist path to enlightenment in a modern and transformative context. These bring greater joy, serenity and enlightened purpose to life.
