Intro to meditation and Buddhism
The Buddha's central insight
This class will be run at the centre. Bring a mask.
TONIGHT: Conditionality
This week we look the central insight that makes Buddhism distinct from other religions or philosophies: conditionality. How does mindfulness wake us up to the fact that all things arise and pass away dependent on conditions? How can we start to realise this truth for ourselves? This will be supported by meditation instruction on the breath and / or body.
This class is the place for newcomers to the Auckland Buddhist Centre to learn meditation and the basics of Buddhism.
This class happens every Monday night at 7pm. It's a rolling 11-week introductory programme. You can join on any Monday night. Classes are designed as much as possible to stand alone for this purpose. But committing to all 11 nights over time will give you the thorough foundation you need to establish your own meditation practice, and step confidently into other classes and retreats.
