About Us

This site is the online home of the D.I.Y. Dharma sangha – a peer-led community of freaks, geeks, queers, rebels, outcasts, stream-enterers and their friends, who meditate together in the Buddhist tradition.

The site contains a calendar and map of upcoming events, a list of dharma resources (also mapped), guided meditations, lectures, and the I Ching, as well as a large number of dhamma talks and interviews by such teachers as Ajahn Sister Vayama, Ajahn Brahmavamso, Ajahn Sister Candasiri, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ajahn Sona, Thanissaro Bhikkhu, Sharon Salzberg, Noah Levine, Alan Watts, Shaila Catherine, Ken Wilber, Jack Kornfield, and more.

If you create an account at this site you will be able to rate and make comments on the stories, talks and forums, add events to the calendar, upload audio files for the shared collection, share your favourite dharma resources, as well as maintain your own D.I.Y. spiritual practice blog. In addition this 'About Us' page will no longer appear as your home page and your activities here will no longer be tracked by Google analytics (we promise!)

We sit Thursday and Sunday nights from 7:00 to 8:30/9pm (please arrive 15 minutes prior) at Unity Yoga – 1672 E. 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC, Unceded Coast Salish Territory. Tuesday nights we sit from 7:30 to 9/9:30pm. The address for our Tuesday sits will be visible to you at the top of the left column of the home page once you create an account and login.

All levels of experience are welcome.

We also maintain an active e-mail discussion list which you are more than welcome to join.
