Central Oregon Dharma Center (almost) always meets the first and third Sunday at Hawthorn Healing Arts Center from 4 to 6 p.m. to learn about and practice Tibetan (Dzogchen) Buddhism. Call 541-647-2641 to confirm any particular Sunday. 

This friendly, informal group is led by authorized Dharma teacher Dharma Acharya Mary Orton . The group follows The Buddha Path, a meditation book that offers practical guidance for increasing our happiness, joy, and peace right now, as well as a true path to enlightenment.

All are welcome!

Feel free to dress in shoes that can be removed easily and comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Bring your cushion if you’d like; there will be cushions and chairs available. You might want to bring something to take notes with. These friendly and informal gatherings are open to everyone, with no previous training required. There is no charge; you will have the opportunity to make a donation to support the Central Oregon Dharma Center, if you wish.

Practice compassion: bring a friend!
