21-day Shamatha Meditation Program with Acharya Choying Gyurmey
Schedule:
- Sundays—10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. In person and on Zoom

Shamatha, also known as calm abiding or tranquility meditation, is a fundamental practice that develops concentration, calmness, and mental clarity. It’s essential for building focus and stability, calming the mind and emotions, and preparing for insight meditation (also known as Vipashyana), as well as for overall well-being, allowing meditators to access deeper states of consciousness and reduce mental distractions. We will include mental mantra recitation, silently repeating the mantra of loving kindness and compassion: OM MANI PED ME HUNG.
Based on the belief, supported by scientific evidence, that 21 days is enough to change habits, we’re offering this 21-day program to help you cultivate a consistent meditation practice, which may transform you and your habits, and guide you on a spiritual journey rooted in compassion and wisdom.
In order to participate in this program, you must register and be fully committed to attending all 21 sessions, either in person or via Zoom. When joining via Zoom, Acharya requires that you keep your camera on at all times. If you must miss a session due to exceptional circumstances, you must commit to doing 30 minutes of meditation that day.
Note: People may attend the regular Sunday Shamatha meditation sessions, even if they are not participating in the 21-day meditation program.
