About Us

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

The site contains a calendar of upcoming events, a map of dharma resources (BC, Canada), 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, Shaila Catherine, Ken Wilber, Jack Kornfield, and many more.

If you create an account at this site you will be able to maintain a log of your sits, add events to the calendar, upload audio files (MP3s) for the shared collection, keep track of favourite pages, share your favourite dharma resources and links, as well as maintain your own D.I.Y. spiritual practice blog. You may even discover a few surprises and your activities here will no longer be tracked by Google analytics (we promise!)

We sit Sunday night 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.
