"We will experience a sense of inner peace
and relaxation. Our mind will feel lucid and
spacious and we will feel refreshed."

Meditation is an integral part of the Buddhist path. It is a powerful method to calm and focus the mind, thereby bringing deep inner peace and a sense of physical and mental well-being. It is also a method for bringing about a change in attitude and so develop a more positive way of living.

Some people meditate simply to relax, others wish to explore further the mind's potential. Whatever the inclination, meditation has something to offer. It is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves in this hectic world.

What happens at a class?

We offer a wide range of meditation classes and study programs for all levels of experience, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners. Our evening classes and guided meditations are an excellent introduction into the practical applications of Buddhist thought and practice. For those interested in studying Buddha's teachings at a deeper level, try the more advanced study programmes like the Foundation Programmes on offer at Thekchen Centre.

Anyone can learn meditation. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend the classes or to benefit from the techniques taught.

The cost for a class is £7 / £4 concessions including refreshments, or a 4-class course card for £25 / £15 concessions.
