Meditation is a practice of training and cultivating the mind to gain concentration, mindfulness, awareness clarity, peace, and emotional positivity. When one practices with one's effort, discipline and patience these calm and focused states of mind can deepen into profoundly tranquil and energized states of mind.
Our monthly full moon meditation begins at 6:00 p.m. with the Evening Chanting, which is a form of meditation, where everyone can participate or listen.

Wat Buddhametta Tucson is a community of fellowship where you can find peace, joy and acceptance wherever you are on your spiritual journey. Although I was only there for one weekend, I feel as though I can always go back and be among friends. It was an honor to spend time with Master Ajan Sarayut Amanta on the weekend my son Wayne was to become a Novice Buddhist Monk. I know his spirit is still with you.

The founder and Abbot of this , the most successful of the Thai Buddhist temples in Tucson, Ajahn Sarayut, is very welcoming and helpful to newbies looking for instruction in meditation and Dharma studies. There are Americans in addition to local Thai families attending services regularly. Don't miss their monthly Thai food buffet . It's a little taste of

Wat Buddhametta is a welcoming, inclusive place to practice, to learn, and to find community. The Wat offers a number of both beginning mindfulness meditation classes and silent sessions for experienced meditators. There are opportunities to learn chanting in Pali as well as Sunday morning ceremony each week. Wat Buddhametta has been my spiritual home for the past four plus years. Check out the web site for more information, upcoming events, and photos. Sadhu🙏
