INTRODUCTION TO MEDITATION
New classes start at 1.30pm, Sunday 22 June 2008
A new introductory series, Introduction to Meditation, will commence at the Tibetan Buddhist Society on Sunday 22 June from 1.30 - 3.00 pm.
The series will be held in the traditional Tibetan temple in Yuroke.
The series will cover progressive stages of spiritual and mental development from the highly regarded text Meditations on the Path to Enlightenment by the Society’s Spiritual Leader, Venerable Geshe Acharya Thubten Loden.
During the series participants will learn about a range of different meditation techniques and how regular meditation can transform your life.
Meditation is a unique tool to help us cultivate a more peaceful and happier approach to life, reduce our negative thoughts and overcome unhelpful habits like anger and dissatisfaction.
Everyone has the capacity to meditate and therefore the ability to find better ways to interact with their family, at work and in any circumstances they encounter.
Learning to meditate is a skill. Step by step we can learn to relax more, understand how our mind works and gradually reveal a new way of observing, experiencing and engaging with the world.
Venerable Geshe Loden brought these excellent teachings to Australia after a lifetime of study and practice in Tibet and India.
Each class will incorporate a talk by an experienced teacher, guided meditation and question and answer session in the traditional Tibetan temple followed by afternoon tea. The facility charge is $10 or $5 concession, with proceeds to support the temple.
