Daytime meditation and Buddhism

Newcomers welcome

This daytime class is the place to become familiar with and practice our two core meditation practices, as well as develop an understanding of Buddhism as we practice it within our tradition.

Start any Tuesday morning. No bookings needed.

We'll be working through 11 core Buddhist themes and two foundational meditation practices to begin with. The class will develop from there.

For newcomers and those with some experience alike, the class with give you a grounding in Buddhism and meditation, and how we practice it here at the centre.

What will you learn?

• two key meditation practices: the mindfulness of breathing and metta bhavana (cultivation of loving-kindness)
• what karma is and isn't
• Buddhist ethics
• what positive emotion means and how we develop it
• mindfulness within the Buddhist context
• the nature of Reality: conditioned co-production, impermanence, and related teachings
• how we get stuck in unhelpful patterns and habits, and how to break free
• a bit about the historical Buddha, how Buddhism came about, where our tradition fits in the Buddhist world and what Enlightenment is

This is the last Daytime Meditation and Buddhism class of the year. We'll be re-starting on February 3rd.
