Step into a space of calm and connection. From guided meditation sessions to deep philosophical study, explore the various ways our community practices mindfulness and compassion in the heart of Bangalore.
Join us for a mindful Tree Walk in Cubbon Park. This volunteer-led activity combines a gentle walk, where we identify trees significant to Buddha's life, with a guided meditation session. It is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, our community, and your own inner peace.
Unwind with our Evening Meditations, held twice a week on Zoom. These short, 15 to 20 minute guided sessions are perfect for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, offering a mix of placement and analytical techniques to calm the mind and cultivate awareness.
We are honored to host special teachings by esteemed guides like Geshe Tenzin Namdak. This session on "The Nature of the Mind & Courageous Compassion" is an example of the deep, transformative wisdom shared at our center, suitable for both new and advanced students.
Discover the path to true happiness through the practical wisdom of Buddhism in our "Happiness Series". These Sunday teachings explore how to apply timeless principles to your everyday life, helping you navigate challenges and cultivate joy. No prior knowledge is required.
For those ready to delve deeper, we offer structured courses like our 9-week "Introduction to Buddhist Meditation and Philosophy". Based on the Lamrim tradition, this program provides a step-by-step guide to the entire path of enlightenment, open to all levels.
We offer themed practices focused on specific intentions, such as this guided meditation on the Medicine Buddha. This practice is a powerful method for healing, using visualization and mantra recitation to cultivate inner peace and restore balance for ourselves and others.

About this collection
Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to deepen an existing practice, our centre provides a non-judgmental space to explore Tibetan Mahayana techniques. We bridge the gap between ancient philosophy and your daily life, offering a flexible mix of in-person sessions in Domlur and live Zoom classes, ensuring you can find your calm whether you are at our centre or at home.
At Choe Khor Sum Ling (CKSL), our practice is rooted in the Lamrim tradition, but we believe that the true value of meditation lies in how it helps you navigate the noise of city living. Our 'Featured' collection showcases the breadth of this journey.
