About this collection
You do not need to be a Buddhist or have any prior experience to join us. Our sessions are designed to be practical tools for the modern day—whether you are dealing with workplace stress or simply looking for a moment of quiet. Most of our classes are hybrid, meaning you can join us in person at our Domlur center or hop onto Zoom from your home, depending on what fits your day.
At Choe Khor Sum Ling, we believe that mindfulness is not just about sitting on a cushion, but about how you carry yourself when you step back into the world. Our 'Practical Buddhism for Everyday Life' series is designed to bridge the gap between ancient philosophy and the challenges you face today.
What to Expect
We cover a range of topics from 'The Happiness Series,' which focuses on navigating toxic work environments and managing negative emotions, to foundational Lamrim teachings that help you establish a consistent, meaningful daily practice. Our sessions are led by experienced teachers and Venerable monks who prioritize clarity and open dialogue, rather than rigid theory.
Flexible Learning
Life in Bangalore is fast-paced, which is why we keep our programming flexible. You can find us at our center in Domlur for face-to-face interaction and community building, or join our Zoom streams if your schedule keeps you at home. We record many of our sessions so you can revisit the teachings whenever you need a reminder.
Our Community
We operate entirely on the generosity of our supporters. This allows us to keep our doors open to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. When you join a session, you are not just attending a class; you are becoming part of a community that supports one another. We encourage you to ask questions, share your experiences, and learn from the fellow practitioners around you.
Choe Khor Sum Ling
