Meditation: Calm, Cleanse & Inspire
(IN-PERSON) Spend a relaxed morning enjoying guided meditations and informal Q&A. Mindfulness breathing meditation to start, followed by a calm and cleansing meditation on the Buddha. Please stay on afterwards for some delicious chai tea in reception!
Enjoy the peaceful ambience of our meditation hall, and be guided in meditations led by senior LTC students. Each week features a different secular meditation to start, with the main meditation on the Buddha purification – suitable for complete beginners, as well as a great chance to ‘top-up’ for regular students. There is no need to be a Buddhist to come along and enjoy the meditation!
The class begins with settling the posture and a simple mindfulness meditation, which is a non-religious and universally effective method to calm the mind.
This is followed by a short informal Q&A where you can discuss how you went in the meditation, or any other meditation or Buddhist topic you have questions about, or discuss current events from a Buddhist perspective.
The second meditation is focused on the Buddha and includes a gentle guided visualisation, and chanting the Shakyamuni Buddha mantra that can help overcome disturbing emotions, stress and negative karma. We end with heartfelt dedications for healing, for oneself, loved ones, and the world.
“The real practice of Dharma, the real meditation, is never to harm others. This protects our own peace of mind and that of other being. This is the true religious practice; it brings benefits to both others and ourselves.”
Lama Zopa Rinpoche
