Rocky Mountain Dharma
We meditate to find balance, calm and peace in all the movement of our minds. To study the Dharma is to understand the Universe and ourselves... breath by breath.
"Find a place that is suitable", said the Buddha... An empty building, a secluded place, a tree, a cave... and contemplate.
Find your spot, with your people and sit, be and contemplate...
We meditate to find balance, calm and peace in all the movement of our minds. To study the Dharma is to understand the Universe and ourselves... breath by breath.

Rocky Mountain Dharma was started in Parker Colorado in 2011 to give an option for people interested in what we call the Buddhadharma. The traditional teachings of the Buddha and the Dharma are offered so people can practice and decide for themselves how to live a better life. We offer study classes, meditation, mindfulness training and other activities like 'Monk Meet and greets' in which we bring in Buddhist Monks, Ministers, educators, authors and other people of interest to chat, meet with, teach and answer questions.
