Bodhiheart Sangha

Bodhiheart offers beginners and advanced-​level meditation, Buddhism and Tibetan language classes in Capitol Hill (but many –or majority — students come from other neighborhoods or even outside of Seattle). Occasionally, Bodhiheart also offer day or overnight retreats, too.
Classes are taught by Ven. Dhammadinna and Tenzin Jesse who spent some time learning about Buddism in different settings, including in Dharamsala, India from the 14^th Dalai Lama himself. The classes I have been taking, Intro to Buddhism and Meditation, meet once a week and are offered series of 3 classes, with each of the series focusing on different and specific topics/​concepts (classes are offered through out the year and you can join in any time or sign up for any particular set of classes). Classes are taughtin the lan rim progression. If you take these classes for a year, you should have a general understanding of Buddhism and Meditation concepts.
People from all sorts of walks in their lives attend classes here. Some people in my classes have been attending the same series of classes for years (this says a lot that even though the set of topics we discuss in classes repeat years after years, it’s never boring and that there are always something new to learn). Bodhiheart offers excellent option for beginners in buddhism and those interested or wanting to learn more about meditation and from various buddhism perspectives.
