It were better to live one single day in the development of a good life of meditation than to live a hundred years evilly and with undisciplined mind.
It were better to live one single day in the pursuit of understanding and meditation than to live a hundred years in ignorance and unrestraint.

(The Buddha, from the Dhamma- pada)

WELCOME!

WHO WE ARE

The University of Chicago Buddhist Association is a registered student organization at the University of Chicago. Our members gather during the weeks of the quarter to meditate together. Our intention is to provide people a (free) way to learn about meditation and to incorporate it into their lives and schedules. Occasionally we host events with guest speakers as well, and we try to make people aware of other places where they may receive instruction. Everyone is welcome to join us, regardless of prior experience, religious beliefs, or position in the University community.

MEDITATION SCHEDULE

There are several regularly scheduled meditations on campus and in Hyde Park. Check the Local Resources page or the Current Calendar for details. We also provide some links to Chicago-wide resources.
