Our Mission

The mission of the Arizona International Buddhist Meditation Center is to teach the practical benefits of Buddhist meditation and the Dhamma. The Center is non-sectarian and open to people of all races, nationalities, ethnicities, and religions.

We offer instructional programs in meditation through regularly scheduled meditation, Dhamma talks, and special programs presented by visiting Buddhist monks whose experience and knowledge will help practitioners enrich their practice immensely. The Center can provide accommodation and a proper environment for mental relaxation and our library of Buddhist books will be available for the use of all practitioners.

Meditation, or Bhavana in the Buddha's language of Pali, means mental culture or development aimed at cleansing the mind of impurities and disturbances and cultivating the habits of concentration and mindfulness which leads eventually to the attainment of the highest wisdom through the realization of the Universal Truths of Sakyamuni Buddha's Teachings.

As the Center develops we also intend to add yoga studies as an additional tool for stress reduction.

Testimonies

I was told years ago that the essence of wellness is ego deflation at depth. Einstein says I will not solve any problem with the same level of consciousness that created it. NT and this meditation retreat helped me, I think, in my journey to hopefully realize at least a measure of each condition at some point.

Four months ago, I was drawn to researching mindful meditation and started learning more about Buddha's Principles. I came across the Arizona International Buddhist Meditation Center and decided to try their meditation class. I did not know what to expect with my first visit, but I realized afterward that I could sink into a deep meditative state with their guided meditation.

I am definitely coming back! NT is one of the reasons I will back. I like his teaching style and contagious bliss. He is encouraging, patient, and genuine. He helped me achieve a taste of bliss, and now I can't stop.
