More happiness, less suffering
One Breath at a Time
Located inside beautiful and historic Unity Temple on the Plaza, TBC is a community that practices Western Buddhism, a blend of eastern philosophy and western psychology. This new and exciting form of spirituality is dynamic, inclusive, active, and focuses on core Buddhist insights, mindfulness, meditation and their practical application in our daily life. Our goal is not to get everyone to agree on a specific lineage, sect or philosophy, but rather on a shared experience of mindfulness, oneness, and love. A regular service consists of chanting, guided & silent meditation, a Dharma talk that blends Buddhist teachings and philosophy with western psychology for a practical approach to our spiritual awakening.
