The BCSS Community meets weekly at 6:30 in the labyrinth room at the Heart of Steamboat Methodist Church and online via Zoom.

We record and publish these teachings weekly. This collection is a great way for newcomers to learn more and also a vast reference for anyone exploring the path.

In addition to the Monday night teachings, BCSS offers a variety of other opportunities for further study.

Membership in the sangha reflects a desire, interest and willingness to participate in what we do.

Becoming a member of our community is not exclusive - many BCSS members are also members of other spiritual communities.

Over the years, BCSS has compiled an extensive list of books, podcasts, videos and other Buddhist-related resources.
This list continues to grow and provides our members a highly-curated collection of materials to educate, inspire and guide them on the path, including:

• Tergar Learning Community
• Lion’s Roar Blog
• Tricycle Magazine

The Buddhist Center is guided by the Buddha’s teachings in general, and by the Buddhist tradition as it was passed down through the great scholars and meditators of Tibet.

Tim has been a student of the teachings since meeting his first teacher Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in Boulder, Colorado in the mid-70’s and he continues to build upon these experiences and share them with our local sangha.

Since meeting Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and moving to Nepal to study with him in 1981, Tim has been a student of Tulku Urgyen and his three sons, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche and Mingyur Rinpoche.

We invite you to learn more about the rich traditions from which we draw our inspiration.

The dekyongs are chosen to watch out for the well-being and care of members of the community.

You can call on them when support is needed for yourself or another community member due to family sickness, death, accidents or hard times.

Help them stay informed by letting them know of any of these needs within our community.

The Buddhist Center invites anyone interested in learning to meditate in general, or about Buddhism specifically.

We’re open to anyone, of any faith, at any level of experience. Many of our active members also participate in other faith traditions.
