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.
