Tampa Sangha

History and Description: The Tampa Sangha was founded in 1997 by four people who attended a Thich Nhat Hanh retreat in Key West. We practice in the engaged Buddhism tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh and meet weekly for meditation, mindfulness practice and Buddhist teachings. Since 2005, our teacher, Fred Eppsteiner, has taught twice a month at our sangha meetings.

Format: Please arrive about 15 minutes early. Enter the meditation room quietly, remove your shoes, and settle in. At 6:30 p.m., we will practice mindfulness sitting meditation for 30 minutes, walking meditation for 15 minutes, and then listen to a Dharma talk or participate in a Dharma discussion. We end with time for tea and informal socializing.
