Meditation Classes at the Dallas Temple

Meditation is an action of our mind and is the main cause of inner peace.

So come and enjoy drop-in meditation classes at our 8500 square foot downtown Dallas Temple. The Temple offers an ideal setting to improve your meditation practice in an inspiring and peaceful environment.

Drop-in classes are oriented towards those that are new to meditation and Buddhism. Some classes have fees and some are by donation, however no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. 

Our classes are great for anyone. We welcome new attendees regardless of religious affiliation, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, or socio-economic status.
