Meditation Classes, Wednesday Evenings, 7:30 – 8:45 pm
Why Meditate?
Meditation has become widely accepted for its health benefits which include:
Ability to reduce one’s stress levels
Pulling oneself out of depression
Overcoming sleep problems
Helping improve focus and concentration
Join like minded people in practising Dhammakaya Meditation, a simple and effective technique, suitable for people of all levels of experience
Keep your inspiration to meditate going, by becoming part of a group that meditates regularly with a resident Buddhist monk and in the quiet and conducive atmosphere of a meditation centre
Classes may include a video presentation, simple stretching exercises and guided meditation practice
Classes are open to all people, of all beliefs and religious orientation, or who have no religious orientation at all
Following the meditation you are free to go home, stay for refreshments or and chat to one of our resident monks, who are more than happy to answer any questions you may have, and don’t worry, there will never be any pressure or attempt to convert you to Buddhism.
Loose-fitting (but modest) clothes are recommended for your own comfort. In the Dhammakaya meditation tradition, it’s customary to wear light coloured (preferably white) clothing as it helps the meditation’s atmosphere, but you don’t have to
We don’t charge for meditation, but the centre does rely on donations to keep going. If you can donate £5.00, it will help us to keep providing these classes to the community. However, we will never turn anyone away due to lack of funds
Students under 16 may be accepted with parental consent
Temple staff may take photographs of the participants during the class
Photographs help form a record of temple activities and may be published online
