HOW TO MEDITATE

Course dates:  November 11 - 15

Only remaining short course for 2008


Everyone wants to have happiness and be free from suffering, sorrow and unhappy states of mind. True happiness is only found in our mind and does not come from outside circumstances. In this 5-day residential program you will get an introduction to the different types of meditation practiced in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as well as very practical details about how to sit properly and how to set up your own meditation session. These meditations will give you an insight into the mind itself and will provide you with tools to develop a more balanced and peaceful mind.
