Sangha means “community” in Pali. Our Student Sangha is a community of UCSD students who get together to meditate, read Buddhist text, and discuss Buddhist practices in hopes of being able to inspire others to practice the way. The typical sangha session starts with 30 minutes of silent meditation, followed with book reading and discussion.
