Intro to meditation and Buddhism

Mindful awareness

This class is the place for newcomers to the Auckland Buddhist Centre to learn meditation and the basics of Buddhism.

TONIGHT: Mindful awareness
This week we look the different levels of mindfulness as taught and practiced in the Buddhist tradition, and how we can start to bring mindfulness alive in our daily life. This will be supported by meditation instruction on the breath and / or body.

This class happens every Monday night at 7pm, even on public holidays. 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.
