Welcome to Ekayana
Ekayana stands for the "One Way"
on which we discover our naturally alert, loving being.
At the Ekayana Institute, we impart the timeless teachings of the Buddha in a way that touches the heart and opens the mind.
Meditation and Dharma for Modern Life
Our courses, retreats and lectures combine the depth of Buddhist tradition with the vibrancy of everyday life. What you will find with us:
- In-depth teachings on Mahamudra and meditation
- A warm community, open to practitioners of all traditions
- Practical guidance with humour and ease
- Authentic transmission from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition
Rooted in tradition and open to variety
We draw from the depths of the Buddhist lineage as it has been traditionally passed down, and we consciously invite teachers from different Buddhist traditions with great appreciation. This enriches our shared path.
Learn meditation, deepen awareness, live lovingly
All of the Ekayana Institute’s offerings support a way of life characterised by mindfulness and loving care for our fellow beings.
