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.
