Welcome to One Dharma Nashville

One Dharma Nashville reflects an emerging Western Buddhism that maintains an allegiance to a very basic question: "What works to free the mind from suffering and awaken the heart to compassion?" The three main Buddhist traditions of Zen, Vipassana and Tibetan have in common key practices such as mindfulness, lovingkindness and compassion. These practices took root from Buddha's strong aspiration that all beings find peace and freedom from suffering. At One Dharma we put the emphasis on these core practices, which have worked for over 2500 years and can be utilized by anyone whether Buddhist or not. 

One Dharma meets Monday nights, 7 - 8:30 for meditation, chanting and discussion. Everyone is welcome, from the curious newcomer to the experienced practitioner. We also offer a twice monthly Saturday study group and a twice monthly Thursday practice night. You can see our full schedule by clicking here.

All of our meetings are held at the 12South Dharma Center, 2301 12th Avenue South. We're at the corner of 12th and Linden, above Serendipity. To enter, go to the back of the building (on Linden) up the stairs and take the door to the right. For your first visit, please plan to arrive about fifteen minutes early for orientation. There is no cost to attend, but donations are appreciated to help cover the cost of rent and supplies. Please write Lisa Ernst with any questions.
