Spring Rain Sangha (SRS) is a non-profit Mindfulness community located in Toronto, Ontario. Practices are based on the early teachings of the Buddha. SRS was founded by Philip Starkman in 2001. Presently, teaching responsibilities are shared by Philip Starkman, Jim Bedard and Randy Baker. Emphasis is placed on Vipassana (Mindfulness/Insight) meditation and Metta (Loving-kindness) meditation.
Since its founding in 2001, Spring Rain Sangha has continued to grow and mature. Our programs include: a weekly guided meditation session followed by a Dharma talk; one-day and multi-day meditation retreats; and a Dharma Home Study Program geared to those wishing to deepen their understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. Other programs respond to those interested in deepening their commitment to practice. Everyone is welcome.
