| About meditation | ||
|
||
| The introductory meditation classes are designed to give a broad introduction to Buddhist meditation, ideas, and practice. The classes combine guided meditation with practical spiritual advice that you can immediately apply as a method for solving the stress and problems in your life. The classes should ideally be attended in a course which runs for a month or so. However, to cater for those who are only able to attend occasionally, classes are easy to follow and do not need prior knowledge or experience.

||
| What to expect at a class | ||
| Though there is no fixed format to any
class, introductory classes often begin with a simple breathing meditation
exercise to reduce stress, tension, and distractions.
This short, guided meditation is followed by a talk on how to incorporate meditation techniques and Buddhist principles into daily life. This may include topics such as improving relationships, gaining peace of mind, coping with stress and dealing with anger. The class may then include another meditation designed to help us gain deeper experience of the subject of the class. Finally, if there is enough time, the class is concluded with questions and answers giving you the opportunity to resolve any unresolved issues. |
||
| After the class | ||
| If you have time to stay, there is a chance to enjoy snacks and refreshments while relaxing or discussing the ideas presented in the teaching with other people. You could also take the opportunity to talk to the teacher about any unanswered questions you may have. | ||
| What do I need to do to attend? | ||
You do not need any previous experience to attend these classes. Also, you do not need to pre-register. Simply find a location and come to the class. Why not come along and see for yourself what meditation can do for you? |
