Intro to meditation and Buddhism
Who was the Buddha?
This class is the place for newcomers to the Auckland Buddhist Centre to learn meditation and the basics of Buddhism.
TONIGHT: Who was the Buddha?
Tonight's class dives into the life of the Buddha and clears up who / what the Buddha is, what enlightenment means, and how it's meaningful for us in 2023. We'll also explore a breath-based meditation practice.
These sessions are part of a rolling 11-week introductory programme. You can join on any 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.
