Meditation Classes (General Program)
Our meditation classes are designed to give a broad introduction to Buddhist meditation, ideas, and practice. A typical class consists of a guided meditation to reduce stress, tension and distractions, followed by a short lecture in how to apply Buddhist principles into daily life. Time is allowed for questions and answers, and a final meditation.
These classes are open to everyone, and suitable for "drop-in" attendance, but can also form the basis for a systematic study of Buddhist practice. Please come whenever you like!
In most locations your first class is free. We ask $8 per class afterwards. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization - your generous donations are our main source of income. We appreciate your support!
