Introduction to Buddhist Philosophy and Meditation
Integrating Meditation with Life
​
Meditation doesn’t mean just sitting — real meditation is changing the mind.
– Lama Zopa Rinpoche
We've all heard about meditation, and perhaps we’ve tried it. But can we truly say we understand this fundamental practice, and that we've used it to transform our lives?
Join us in May for a four-part series exploring:
• What is meditation?
We’ll explore what this practice means in the ancient Buddhist tradition.
• Why meditate?
Understanding the purpose and benefits of meditation.
• How do I meditate?
Learn techniques you can apply in daily life.
• Is it working?
How to assess the effectiveness of your practice.
Sessions run for one hour and include guided meditations, a talk, and questions.
A facility fee of $5 goes towards the running of the Centre.
All welcome; there is no need to book.

Lama Zopa said: My point here is for you to understand what we are doing and what you are helping with. This is so that you can rejoice. It really is unbelievable, incredible, what you are helping with, and this creates so much benefit for the world and for sentient beings. This actually creates the cause to liberate so many beings. This is an incredible opportunity for you to rejoice, and if you rejoice and then dedicate the merits, it is amazing.
