Wednesday Evening Class

Wednesday Evening Meditation Class

In this class we look into various aspects of Buddhist philosophy, psychology and spiritual practice and discover how we can apply Buddhist wisdom to the day to day problems we face in our busy modern lives. Classes consist of two guided meditations and an inspiring talk. There is always time for questions. This class is suitable for everyone but is pitched at a somewhat higher level than the Monday evening and Wednesday morning classes. No special clothing is necessary and people can sit on chairs or meditation cushions. 

There is no need to book to attend these classes – just drop in. While it is best to attend the whole course, this is not always possible and you are welcome to come to any classes you can.

New Series: The Buddhist Way of Loving Kindness

Everyone, whether religious or non-religious, wants to be happy and free from suffering. But very few people understand the real causes of happiness and suffering, and so do not know how to fulfil their fundamental wish to be happy. Most people think that the way to find happiness is to get whatever we want, but in fact an unbridled pursuit of outer sources of pleasure, comfort and security for ourselves alone is a cause of suffering, not happiness. True happiness can only be found through following the spiritual path, and an essential ingredient of this path is learning to love others, eventually all living beings. This is not an unattainable ideal, but totally practical and achievable. If we wish to flourish as individuals, we need to love others. If we wish to survive as a species, we need to love others.

  These classes will be based on the Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book, The New Eight Steps to Happiness.  

Every Wednesday starting 26th February
