Practice with us online & in-person: Re-opening of Dharma Gate to all

Our constituent groups are meeting and practicing together, mostly online, and some are returning to hybrid practices. Dharma Gate is now open on Monday nights to all, members and non-members, with no sign up needed. Not all of our practice groups are choosing to hold in person practices at this time. We will continue to offer our hybrid model, offering the option to zoom in.

Days of Mindfulness Fall 2024

We will have hybrid Days of Mindfulness (DOM) on the 3rd Saturday of the month on September 21, October 19 and November 16 at Dharma Gate from 8:45 am to 4 pm.
You can join in-person at 1910 24th Ave S, Seattle 98144 or connect by Zoom. Please visit:
Days of Mindfulness 2024 for details.

Please visit our Newcomer Orientation section if you are new to our practices.

Online Practice Schedule

For in-person practice opportunities, you must be fully vaccinated and boosted to attend in person. Please turn to specific constituent groups for their up to date details regarding Covid protocols.

About Us
MCPS supports the practice and tradition of mindfulness and Buddhist meditation, as exemplified by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and other Buddhist teachers, for the liberation of ourselves and all beings. Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Zen master, poet, author, and peace activist, predicts that the next living Buddha will be the sangha (or spiritual community).

Our practice reflects a special emphasis on community-building. We welcome people of all backgrounds (spiritual, ethnic, race, sexual orientation, gender, ability, etc.) to practice with us.

Our mission is to nurture compassion and understanding, both within the sangha, and throughout the larger society.

We invite you to stay up-to-date on the latest events and news from MCPS by signing up for our monthly newsletter.

Newcomer Orientation
Please visit our Newcomer Orientation section if you are new to the practice. Orientation is recommended but not required before attending meditation.
Newcomer Orientation Information
The focus of the Newcomer Orientation is to answer questions such as:

Who is Thich Nhat Hanh?
What practices can one attend at Mindfulness Community of Puget Sound (MCPS)?
How can one join one of the practices offered?
What does it mean to become a member?
What is dana?

Our Vision

Our practice supports living mindful lives so that we may deeply understand the interdependence that connects us to each other and the world.

We have an urban center in Seattle, Washington, and a community structure that nurtures peace, healing, inclusiveness, understanding, and connection, for individuals, their families and the greater society.
