Welcome!
We are glad you have joined us!
What happens in a class?
At the beginning of each class the teacher will guide a gentle, relaxing meditation to help clear the mind and set a beneficial intention.
Then the teacher will give a practical teaching on some aspect of Buddhist meditation and practice. There is usually time for discussion and Q&A. Teachers are skilled in helping us to apply Buddha’s advice to our own daily lives with appropriate analogies, stories, reasoning and humour.
The session ends with a final guided meditation, designed to help us take the teaching to heart in such a way that we can gain confidence in bringing it into our daily lives.
Afterwards, for those who wish, there is a chance to talk to the teacher and other students informally.
