Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the teachings and practices of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, as taught in the Pali Sutras. Our intention is to provide the means for anyone who is interested to learn about these teachings and to provide support for effective practice of the Buddha’s path to freedom.

To further these goals a NEW Dharma Center has been opened in the heart of Los Angeles. The Center @ 4300 Melrose Ave. is a home for our guiding teacher, Noah Levine, to continue his lifelong work and also a place for his students to form a spiritual community, or sangha. The Center is place to go for dharma talks, meditations classes, and a place to practice - but also a community center - a place to build supportive relationships with others on the path.
