What is a Sangha?

"Sangha" is the Sanskrit term for "community of practitioners" - one of the precious Three Jewels of Buddhism. The Boulder Shambhala Meditation Center is home to a wonderfully diverse community who share a genuine connection to contemplative practice and the aspiration to realize a more wakeful, sane society.
