The Serene Reflection tradition of meditation is the teaching of the Priory, and embodies:

~The practice of meditation.

~Awakening the heart of compassion and expressing it through selfless activity.

~The teaching that all beings have the Buddha Nature. All are fundamentally pure; out of ignorance we create suffering, thereby obscuring our real nature.

~Keeping the moral Precepts of Buddhism, both in outward interactions and relationships as well as in the inner practice of purifying our hearts.

Our meditation practice is to sit still with an open, alert, and bright mind, neither suppressing nor indulging the thoughts and feelings that arise.

Meditation is the foundation of this religious practice. Through it we can discover the Truth directly for ourselves.

In meditation, we open our hearts to the Source of "Great Compassion" and learn how to gently accept and embrace ourselves and the world.

Profound transformation becomes possible when we stop judging and simply see things as they are.
