The zendo (meditation hall) is the other structure in the backyard. Very kind and welcoming people. An introductory lesson is typically required before sitting.

It's not a requirement to stay for all of the sittings. I felt very welcomed and am very much so enjoying this new practice.

I just started attending the Arizona International Buddhist Meditation Center after a friend…read morerecommended I come with him. Meetings are Wednesday nights at 7pm on Temple Street (the center may be difficult to find as it is located in a residential house). There is parking available in front the house as well as a church parking lot across the street. Cushions are provided for your comfort and the meditation session lasts about 45 minutes. Shane will ring a bell and talk you through the first 5 to 10 minutes. Afterwards, silence commences and you try not to think of anything at all. Once the meditation session ends, Shane leads a short discussion session to allow for questions and for the resident monk to read a prayer aloud. I feel relaxed and at peace when I come here. Everyone is kind and welcoming, no judgement! If you are looking for a group environment and friendly community to meditate with, this is the perfect spot in Arizona!

The community is very welcoming, and the space is beautiful inside. The building doesn't look like much from the outside, and it is a bit hard to spot from the street, so look for the sign out front (note that the entrance is in the rear next to the parking lot). I highly recommend Shambhala for anyone looking for a good place to practice mindfulness and learn to be more present and sane in the world.
