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. Tonight, we start back for the New Year - and for the first time at the centre since August 2021.
TONIGHT: What is the central insight of Buddhism?
In what way was the Buddha's teaching unique? What insight did he have that differentiates what we now call Buddhism from other spiritual understandings? In the second half of the class, we'll focus on the mindfulness of breathing meditation practice.
These sessions are part of a rolling 10-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 10 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.
$20 for your first class
$180 if you choose to commit to all 10 classes
No bookings required - just come along on the night. We have EFTPOS and cash facilities.
