A brief synopsis of your club’s services, activities, or the stakeholders you serve:

The Buddhist Meditation Club is dedicated to alleviating suffering from its members and all beings, of this world and beyond, along with a fostered focus upon the cultivation of proper moral or ethical conduct, proper discipline, peace, proper wisdom, compassion, and more. Through a wide array of practices such as meditation, chanting sessions, and thoughtful discussions on dharma,  Buddhist Meditation Club aims to create a nurturing space for developing one’s being. Buddhist Meditation Club believe in the inherent Buddha nature of each individual. The Buddha nature of the individual is obscured by the clouds of the mind. Through the recognition and dispelling of these clouds or unwholesome qualities, one attains a state of calm, and is hence able to cultivate the wholesome, essentially becoming able to walk the path towards nirvana.
