About the Sati Center
The Sati Center for Buddhist Studies supports the study and application of Buddhist teachings. Our perspective balances scholarly inquiry, personal practice and engagement in our world. Our perspective is primarily Theravadan, but not exclusively so.
The Sati Center offers two primary areas of study. First, we help participants explore original Buddhist texts and appreciate the richness of the tradition and lineage. Second, we provide trainings in applying the teachings and practices in support of our wider world. For both of these areas we wish to facilitate ongoing dialog and exchange among meditators, teachers, students and scholars.
