First Tuesday of every month - the Sanghapala Meditation Group meets at the Berkeley Buddhist Monastery, 2304 McKinley Avenue, Berkeley. Except during the Winter Retreat (January- March) when a guest teacher is scheduled, a monastic is in attendance and presents a Dhamma talk and leads the group in chanting and meditation, 7:30-9:30 pm.

All other Tuesdays - the Sanghapala Meditation Group meets at the Berkeley Zen Center, 1931 Russell Street (one block from the Ashby BART), 7:30-9:30 pm. For more information, contact Julie Schlein at or (415) 847-1330.

For information about any of these Bay Area meditation groups, or if you'd like to start an Abhayagiri-affiliated meditation group in your community, please contact the monastery.
