about having Dharma teachings/starting a Buddhist community in your local area.

Summit Dharma Center is a place of earnest and joyful practice of the core liberation teachings of the Buddha. It operates on the principal of noble silence, which is conducive to calming & settling the mind to foster the development of insight. Dharma talks, yoga instruction, meditation are times for intentional speech - the balance of the time is quiet and reflective.

All of the teachers are accomplished Western practitioners with substantial experience in deep meditation. Our teachers provide a range of assistance from beginning instruction to advanced guidance and focus on the core practices of Buddhism: mindfulness, awakening and methods leading directly to realization.

The principal meditation focus is mindfulness of breathing, of feeling tones and of mind. These are in concert with loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity practices. As you focus on the heart of the Buddha's teaching, you may find your practice becomes more deep, more rich and that you have a greater understanding of the practice. That is one of the functions of serious quiet retreat – to allow an expansion of experiential understanding.
