Welcome to White Heron Sangha

A Buddhist community dedicated to fostering an open-hearted refuge for all to explore the transformational practice of meditation and teachings of the Buddha in San Luis Obispo County.

Pure Love: Harmonizing the Heart with the Cultivation of the Four Divine Abodes
A Weekend Retreat with John Martin
August 16 and 17
As we cultivate the pure love of metta, we connect with our inherent goodness. And, with a foundation of love for ourselves and for all beings, our hearts become like finely tuned instruments. Compassion, joy and equanimity arise naturally and easily in response to the conditions of our lives. We realize our hearts are already pure, and as vast as space itself. On this retreat, we will cultivate what the Buddha described as the divine abodes: Metta (loving kindness), Karuna (compassion), Mudita (appreciative joy) and Upekkha (equanimity). As we open to these beautiful qualities, great wisdom emerges. Click here for more information.

White Heron Sangha is seeking a new Treasurer to join the board by 2026, as the current treasurer will be stepping down. This volunteer role offers a meaningful opportunity to practice generosity. Click here for more information or reach out to Susan Quinones at susanqrn@gmail.com.
