Meditation classes and courses in Buddhism

 

 

 

Journey into an open and more expansive way of living

​

​​

 

Explore a vision of Buddhist practice that reaches beyond personal well-being. A vision that invites you into a more connected, compassionate and wholehearted relationship with life.

​

 

Awakening is less about acquiring something than about learning to appreciate reality differently. Drawing on the Sanskrit term vidyā, Buddhist teacher Sangharakshita describes wisdom as "a sort of relishing of things, a harmony with the world". Rather than asking what experience can give us, we simply learn to dwell within it. Beauty begins to reveal itself when we stop trying to possess it.

 

 

On this course we’ll explore:

​

• Mettā (loving-kindness) as the emotional foundation of practice



​​

• Spiritual friendship as an essential condition for growth



​​

• Beauty and appreciative awareness as gateways to collectedness



​​

• Ethical communication as practice in relationships

​​

• Sangha as a field of transformation



​​

• Insight into feeling and craving as the basis of freedom from suffering
