about dpx phl | dharma punx philadelphia

a short description

what is dharma punx philadelphia?

dharma punx philadelphia gathers together on the first and third Sunday of each month to meditate and to share our personal experience with meditation and Buddhist principles. We are an autonomous group, peer-led and not aligned with any one specific teacher. There is no requirement to be a practicing Buddhist to attend the meetings. Sharing during the discussion, while encouraged, is always optional.

who comes to the meetings?

Everyone is welcome to join us regardless of their personal meditation experience. There is no hierarchy. We seek to provide an inclusive, safe space for equitable, authentic expression and discussion.

what happens at a meeting?

Our gatherings are facilitated by members of our community and include meditation and the presentation of a dharma related topic which is then followed by a group discussion. These presentations may include a talk, a reading, or anything which will stimulate the group conversation. Members are encouraged, but not required, to facilitate meetings and lead meditations. We will occasionally invite guest teachers to lead our group. There is never a charge to attend a meeting.
