We teach meditation techniques and Buddhist principles to anyone who wishes to attend and perhaps can't make the classes at our centre in Bethnal Green.

In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, discover methods and practices designed to help you change your life, and develop greater emotional positivity and awareness. Together with others, investigate how to live a meaningful, ethical and loving life in today's modern world.

Meditation Classes

Meditation is a means to self-awareness, change, and spiritual insight. At any of these events you can learn one of the two fundamental Buddhist meditation practices: ‘The Mindfulness of Breathing’, which enhances our awareness and peace of mind; and ‘The Metta Bhavana’ – ‘the development of loving kindness’, which brings about a gentle but potentially radical transformation in our emotional experience.

Every Saturday

1- 2pm.
(Prompt start at 1pm.)

MEDITATION COURSES

Buddhist Meditation Foundation Courses

Meditation is an art. Learning to meditate requires skill, patience and application. Our foundation courses provide a thorough grounding in how to work effectively with your thoughts and emotions. You learn ways of concentrating your mind, being less distracted and becoming calmer. Buddhist meditation starts with relaxation but goes far beyond that. The courses include a meditation diary – a practical, day-by-day guide in the principles of meditation.
