Open Dharma Budapest - Free Meditation
Open Dharma Budapest is a friendly meditation sangha for anyone interested in meditation. Every Sunday we gather for 1–1.5 hours at a local tea house to sit together, share, and support each other on the path.
What to expect: Each session begins with a 20-minute silent sit, followed by an open, voluntary sharing of our experiences — a space to process what arises in practice, together.
You’re welcome to enjoy a cup of tea before the session (Menu). If you plan to come earlier for tea, please also book here for Sunday 5PM (You can come slightly later).
Donations are optional and help support the venue and complimentary tea.
You can donate via the cash donation box or by scanning the Revolut QR code.
Thank you for your support.
