Dhammakaya Meditation Center Tennessee

we provide free meditation classes every Wednesday night from 7pm - 8pm+

Weekly Wednesday Class

Our meditation class for beginners runs every Wednesday at 7pm - 8pm+ and will have the following format:

  • Welcome & stretching

  • Introductory discussion

  • Guided meditation

  • Space for Q&A with Buddhist Monks

  • Informal chit chat with all attendees over snacks

Just as important as the instruction and time to connect with inner peace is the opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals on the path to self development. This class flow facilitates such a balance and creates a space for meaningful friendships that are hard to come by in other contexts. Come experience the warmth of our community yourself!

Full Moon Meditations

A promotional poster for a series of online events in 2026 including topics like introduction, short wisdom talk, candle lighting, meditation, loving kindness, and Q&A with the monks Venerable Daniels and Venerable Jacky. The poster features two photos of monks wearing orange robes, with one labeled Venerable Daniels and the other Venerable Jacky. The events are scheduled at different times and dates across January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. The poster includes a link and login details for Zoom.

Join in with hundreds of meditators across America as we are guided into stillness by special guest meditation teaching monks from Thailand. We will set a suitable candlelit environment here at the center and join in via Zoom for a simultaneous group meditation to create world peace through inner peace every single full moon night. Although you can join at home, joining in person is much more powerful due to the atmosphere of the meditation hall. For more info and to register, please click the link below!
