Starting to Meditate
If you would like to learn more about meditation, the simplest way is to come along to one of our meditation classes or events. We have a range of classes and events for beginners to attend. Why not try the 20-minute weekday meditation or one of our other classes and workshops?
What is Meditation?
Meditation is simply a method of training our mind to become peaceful. When our mind is peaceful we free ourselves from worries and mental discomfort and we allow true happiness to arise. The ultimate purpose of meditation is to develop our capacity to help others.
Many of us lead very busy lives, and finding the space to turn inwards and meditate each day can be a struggle in itself. But meditation allows us to recover our strength, collect our thoughts and to see things in perspective. With a peaceful mind, we are then far more likely to find solutions to our problems and respond constructively without loss of heart.
What is Modern Buddhism?
Modern Kadampa Buddhism is a special presentation of Buddha’s ancient teachings of compassion and wisdom that is especially suited to the people of our busy, modern world. This presentation is easy to understand and to put into practice. Everybody is welcome and no experience is necessary. For more information
