The Alphabet Sangha is a weekly meditation group for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Same-Gender Loving, and Two-Spirit communities. Because that's such a mouthful, we call ourselves the Alphabet Sangha. We gather for Buddhist meditation practice, Dharma teachings, and friendly, supportive community. Together we explore mindfulness and awareness for cultivating an open heart in our everyday lives.
We are a diverse, multicultural community, committed to social justice and to maintaining a Sangha that's welcoming to people of all races, ethnicities, classes, genders, abilities, sizes and ages.
We welcome people at all levels of practice. Simple beginning meditation instructions are always offered. If you have specific questions about meditation, a teacher is usually available to answer questions.

The San Francisco Bay Area Vajrakilaya Centers were established by His Holiness Kusum Lingpa in May 1995 to help new and older students of Buddhism join together in an energetically strengthening atmosphere of group practice. The sadhanas (meditations) we regularly do, especially Vajrakilaya, are enhanced by the heartfelt presence of sangha members putting out right effort to help destroy both personal obstacles on the spiritual path and the ever increasing obstacles arising in the world around us.
We invite all interested people to join us in weekly practice. The time commitment (roughly an hour and a half per week) is small compared to the enormous benefits for ourselves and those around us. The El Cerrito Center gathers every Friday night at 7:30 pm. The Oakland Center offers weekend practice on Saturdays and Sundays and special practice sessions on the 10th and 25th day of the lunar month. Please call if you need directions or more information.
For those relatively new to sitting practice there is always someone available to answer questions and to help provide instructions. Please call ahead so we can set up a time to talk.

Tsa Tsa Studio -- Center for Tibetan Sacred Art

Tsa Tsa Studio
855 Parr Blvd., Studio L30
Richmond, California
(415) 503-0409
info@tsatsastudio.org
The Tsa Tsa Studio's purpose as a center is to provide training in and facilities for tsa tsa practice and other forms of sacred art. 'Tsa Tsa' is a Tibetan term used to describe Buddha statues and relief images that are made as part of a particular meditation practice. Making tsa tsas is a preliminary practice given by teachers in Tibet - and now all over the world - to their students as a method of eliminating obstacles, purifying negativities, and creating positive energy (merit). Often, students are given a commitment to make 100,000 tsa tsas during their lifetime.
