Shakayamuni Buddhist Meditation Monastery is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt not-for-profit organization started in 2019. It is located near Dam Neck road in Virginia Beach. The monastery provides various activities for people who like to cultivate good human qualities, learn Buddhism and practice meditation. Some events are given online for people who live out of Hampton Roads. The purpose of  all these activities is to create a happy human who sees this life and this world as beautiful, who is always eager to help others out of compassion, and who develops a mind of calm and peace through meditation. All of our activities are free and led by fully ordained Buddhist monks.
