Dharma Treasure Buddhist Sangha
Welcome!
The mission of the Dharma Treasure community is to offer Buddhist teachings, clear and systematic meditation instruction, and retreat opportunities for all people pursuing spiritual development and awakening.
We offer online and in-person meditation and Dharma teachings, aimed at spiritual awakening, rooted in the teachings of the Buddha. Grounded in The Mind Illuminated meditation manual, well-trained teachers offer a practical synthesis of traditional wisdom and western thought. The Dharma Treasure Retreat center at Cochise Stronghold hosts individual and group retreats for practitioners of every level. We collaborate with other traditions interested in more effectively achieving insight and liberation of the heart and mind.
This website is the exclusive home to the vast audio archive of his Dharma talks and discussions. All are free for you to download or stream.
Culadasa’s Comprehensive Guide to Meditation
A note from Culadasa about The Mind Illuminated
Dear Dharma Friends,
I am delighted to report that the book has been big hit with the meditation community world wide. It will soon be released in the U.K., Germany, Korea & Spain as well. I thank you especially for your support.
The book is receiving accolades with over 200 five star reviews on Amazon; there are active discussions on Reddit and other online communities. I sincerely hope you personally find The Mind Illuminated useful.
Special thanks to my co-authors Matthew and Jeremy. We wrote and rewrote every chapter many times, striving for maximum clarity and usefulness, and found creative ways to graphically illustrate both subtle inner experiences and abstract ideas.
In joy and service,
Culadasa
