About the Center
The Bodhi Path Buddhist Center of Chicago is part of an international network of Buddhist Centers founded by Shamar Rinpoche and dedicated to offering high quality instruction in meditation and Buddhist philosophy.
Bodhi Path Chicago opened in February 2007 to teach Buddhist philosophy and meditation to all who are interested. Weekly events with our resident teacher are currently held online, with quarterly live retreats and teaching programs hosted at various locations in Chicago with teachers from around the world.
Meditation instruction is available. All are welcome.
