Our meditation classes teach simple, practical meditation techniques based on the teachings of Kadampa Buddhism. Their intent is to help people to gain a personal experience of inner peace, overcome their daily problems and find real happiness in their hearts.
All of our General Program and Simply Meditate classes are suitable for everyone—from brand new beginners to experienced meditators—and consist of guided meditations, a talk and discussion. Classes are grouped into series of 4-6 weeks, focusing on a theme or meditation technique.
Each class is self contained so you can just drop in and enjoy. They provide an ideal introduction to meditation and Buddhism, teaching effective and practical methods for overcoming problems and increasing happiness in daily life.

Books/Prayer Booklets: Leaving Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully
In Part 2 of this series, we will explore how to apply the practice of powa, or transference of consciousness, for the benefit of others. We first need to understand the process of death, intermediate state and rebirth in order to fully appreciate the importance of helping those who have died and who are dying. Through this journey, we’ll also learn to support others in their final moments, cultivating an attitude that sees death as a natural part of life’s cycle. No experience necessary. Everyone welcome.
