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.

What class should I start with?

  • Drop-in classes are suitable for beginners as well as those with an established meditation practice. Each class includes a Buddhist teaching and guided meditation. Through these classes we can learn how to use Buddha’s advice in our own lives to solve all our daily problems and find the peace and happiness we seek.

  • Meditation prayers are offered at various times throughout the month to help us receive inspiring energy and prepare our minds for meditation.

  • A structured in-depth study program of a selection of Buddhist books to provide foundational understanding of Buddha’s teachings. Enrollment Required.

  • Special events (usually taking place over the weekend), provide an opportunity to contemplate and meditate more deeply on one aspect of Buddha’s teachings.
