Long Beach Meditation
Welcome to Long Beach Meditation
We practice Vipassana meditation, a time-honored method for developing mindfulness and concentration. We are not affiliated with any religious organization. Our sangha is a beautiful patchwork of people from all faith traditions, or none, and we follow Krishnamurti’s teaching that “truth is a pathless land.”
We offer weekly sits and retreats with on-going instruction in sitting and walking meditation by our guiding teacher, Victor Byrd, who gives regular dharma talks and leads our open discussions. Everyone is welcome to sit with us as we journey from the unreal to the Real.

LBM is Now Officially a Non-Profit Organization!
As of January 2010, Long Beach Meditation is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. All donations (dana) are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Our new status as a non-profit is also retroactive to 2009, so your donations from last year are tax deductible as well. Thanks to all the people who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring this to fruition.
