The Sandpoint Sangha seeks to be an inclusive and diverse community practicing mindfulness meditation by studying Buddhist teachings illuminating a path of wisdom and compassion for everyday life. Our intention is to integrate and manifest wisdom and compassion in all aspects of our lives for the benefit of all beings.
Over the years we have developed an active community of meditation, organizing events and retreats, meeting regularly, and sharing in the joy of mindful living. Many of our teachings are passed on to us through the guiding work of Frank Ostaseski. More about Frank, his work, our journey, and insightful meditation can be found right here. http://fiveinvitations.com/about-fran-ostaseski/
We welcome all who are interested in meditation and mindful living to explore the information we have presented here and to contact us if you have questions or comments.
"Now, Kalamas, don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, 'This contemplative is our teacher.' When you know for yourselves that, 'These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adoped & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness' -- then you should enter & remain in them.". - Buddha
