About this course

Suitable for everyone, this meditation course is a perfect opportunity to take a break from busy daily life and experience the benefits of meditation for ourself. Everyone can meditate, it is just a matter of knowing how to do it. On this weekly course we will learn how to use Buddhist meditation & contemplation to increase our inner peace and happiness, improve relationships and solve daily problems. Classes include talks, guided meditation and Q&A.

“The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.” ~ Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, founder of New Kadampa Tradition
