Intro to meditation and Buddhism

Do we need other people?

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

Do we need other people?
We'll examine the importance of spiritual friends in helping us along the path of awakening. You'll also be introduced to a meditation that will help you focus your energies.

These sessions are part of a rolling 10-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.
