Less Stress ~ Find Peace

• These classes resume on September 13th

These drop in classes are taught by English Buddhist monk and qualified Kadampa Teacher, Kelsang Dragden. Each class consists of two guided meditations, a talk and discussion. The talk covers the particular topic for the evening. Through guided meditation we gain a deeper personal experience of the topic. This will help us to be more positive and peaceful in our daily lives. Everyone is welcome and can join at any time.
Cost: £5 per class (or 4 classes for £15)

These are all drop-in classes, there is no need to book.

The classes this term are following the book The New Meditation Handbook by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, available at tharpa.com or you can purchase a copy on the night.

Everyone welcome!

What to expect in a class
Classes begin with a simple guided meditation to reduce stress, tension, and distractions. This is followed by a teaching comprising an explanation of particular Buddhist principles and how to apply them to daily life. This is followed by a second guided meditation on the particular topic covered in the class. Then there is an opportunity for small group discussion, followed by a question and answer session with the teacher.

After the class there is a chance to enjoy some refreshments and discuss more informally with the teacher and other participants. You do not need any previous experience to attend these classes.
