A <i>“<b>Sangha</b>”</i> is a community of practitioners that gets together to meditate, practice mindfulness, support its members’ spiritual practice, and socialize with a focus. Throughout our practice, we emphasize the cultivation of <i>Smirti</i> (Mindfulness), <i>Samadhi</i> (Concentration), and <i>Prajna</i> (Insight), and endeavor to live in harmony and awareness.
