When your mind is in a calm and clear state, everything is fresh and new. 

~Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche

Welcome!

As someone new to meditation, you may have many questions about what you should do to get started, or you may want to learn more about what to expect. Here are a few suggestions about how to start getting to know Pristine Mind Foundation and what we offer.
