“One can’t try to abandon one’s life and try to create a new one, but rather let us try to work with it. Let us make a beginning.”
–Trungpa Rinpoche
Dharma Ocean Los Angeles
Dharma Ocean Los Angeles is one of the oldest city sanghas. It was established soon after Dr. Reggie Ray’s 2004 visit to LA. We are dedicated to embodying the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche as lived and taught by Dr. Ray.
We invite you to discover for yourselves this secret depth and fullness of our ordinary lives, that is found in the reality of our totally present, completely embodied human existence. Senior students, through meditation and gentle body-focused exercises as taught by Dr. Ray, explore the hidden potential and transformative power of just abiding and relaxing within our bodies. This sacred and unique journey that we undertake unfolds as we live an engaged, modern life.
Dharma Ocean LA provides access to our lineage’s electronic, audio and print resources. Dharma Ocean LA has a Facebook presence that archives our previous activities. We also provide personal meditation instruction and pastoral counseling. We host a weekly Sunday morning Sangha session from 10:00 am to Noon. Bi-yearly, we host a day-long meditation. The sangha is supported by dana offerings made by those attending these sessions.
