DESCRIPTION:(IN-PERSON) Step away from the busyness of everyday life and
  discover the relief of a quieter mind. In these monthly get-togethers w
 e will practice the simple yet profound meditation practices introduced 
 by Ven. Gendun during his visit to LTC. Discover how to settle the const
 ant stream of thoughts and distractions\, and become aware of the natura
 l luminous nature of the mind. Be guided through several meditations\, e
 njoy excerpts from Ven. Gendun’s inspiring teachings\, and share with 
 small group discussions. These afternoons offer a rare opportunity to sl
 ow down and explore meditation in a supportive and welcoming environment
 .\n\n\n\nWith clear guidance and a supportive environment\, even complet
 e beginners can quickly feel the benefits of learning how to pause and b
 e present. Participants will be led gently led toward a deeper experienc
 e of clarity\, presence\, and inner ease.\n\n\n\nAlongside these practic
 es\, analytical meditations will explore timeless Buddhist insights on t
 opics such as compassion\, perspective\, and the nature of thoughts and 
 emotions. These contemplations help transform meditation from something 
 we only do on the cushion into a powerful way of understanding ourselves
  and relating to the world.\n\n\n\nWhy Attend?\n\n\n\n\nMeditating toget
 her is clearer and easier.We enjoy the support of group practice\, just 
 as sweeping the floor with a twig is so difficult but together as a broo
 m we can accomplish purification and merit together very quickly\n\n\n\n
 Experiential practice brings clarity and warm-heartedness.Meditation is 
 an integral component of our path. Study and familiarisation (meditation
 ) together mean we avoid the hard-heartedness of mere intellectual succe
 ss.\n\n\n\nTaking the time to integrate the Dharma.Regular get-togethers
  establish a community and create meaningful connection\, and will help 
 our practice carry us through the ups and downs of life.\n\n\n\n\nWhat t
 o Expect\n\n\n\nWe will have two sessions with tea and cake in between. 
 The afternoon will include:\n\n\n\n\nGuided meditations led by senior LT
 C students\, from meditations provided by Ven. Gendun\n\n\n\nVideo excer
 pts from the teaching with Ven. Gendun given here at LTC during his visi
 t\n\n\n\nSmall group sharing of 2-3 people to discuss the teaching\n\n\n
 \nAddress questions and wrap-up to summarise the afternoon and next step
 s for home meditation\n\n\n\n\nWhether you are completely new to meditat
 ion or have years of experience\, everyone is welcome to join the Gendun
  Meditation Group\, offering practical tools for cultivating a calmer mi
 nd\, deeper wisdom\, and a more open heart.\n\n\n\n“The human mind has
  the potential for infinite development. If you can discover\, even in a
  small way\, that true satisfaction comes from your mind\, you will real
 ize that you can extend this experience without limit and that it is pos
 sible to discover everlasting satisfaction.”- Lama Thubten Yeshe\n\n\n

 raining (IDMT)\, a four-year program offering meditators long-term suppo

  the path together.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming Guided M
