Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery Saskatoon Inc.

about

We are a meditation centre and monastery where you can learn the original teachings of the Buddha. All of our activities are free and open to the public.

The Saskatoon Buddha Meditation Centre is part of the Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery (pronounced maha may-oo NA-wa). We offer the spiritual practices of morality, meditation, and wisdom taught by the Buddha freely to all who are interested. Anyone from any background is welcome to come and learn.
Our lay community is led by monks trained in the ancient scriptures taught by the Buddha and his fully enlightened disciples. Through a variety if activities they help people to understand these teachings and apply them to life in the modern world.
The Buddha taught that all of life's problems are rooted in greed, hatred and delusion. He saw that through eliminating our clinging to the impermanent things of the world, we can achieve true happiness in this life. This is a happiness not dependent on getting more and more things. Without a real understanding of the nature of suffering in the world, it is hard to recognize that the ordinary happiness we usually depend on is not all there is.
As per the Supreme Buddha's teachings, monks do not use money. Our organization is run by charitable donations of the congregation and the well-wishes. Those donations are used to provide daily necessitates of monks, including meals, shelter, utilities, medicine and transportations. The management committee of the Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery Saskatoon oversee daily operations of the organization. Your generous contributions will be used to provide necessities for the monks and daily maintenance of the monastery.
All of our teachings and activities are offered to the public at no charge. Please visit our website at www.mahamevnawasaskatoon.com. You can receive reminders about activities through www.meetup.com/meditationsaskatoon. You can also follow us at www.instagram.com/meditationsaskatoon.
We look forward to meeting you!
