If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19--or if you have had close contact with a person who has symptoms like dry cough, chest tightness, and/or fever--please refrain from participating in in-person gatherings. We strongly recommend that those who are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 continue using online options. We will continue to make all programs available virtually for the foreseeable future. Anyone that is unvaccinated is requested to wear a mask while indoors at PMC.
PMC members, near and far, are a community of students who study and practice meditation together, and provide care to each other during difficult times. Becoming a member is about giving this kind of support; the opportunity to practice generosity in terms of volunteer hours, funding, or lending a special skill to the community is highly valued. Members support the activity of the teachers and the organization. We welcome everyone who feels a connection with the center and Chhoje Rinpoche to become a member!
