Meditation & Buddhism

chanted meditation sessions

We hold regular chanted meditations at the centre. These are beautiful chanted prayers sung in English which help us to receive inspiration and increase peace throughout the world. By drawing close to the enlightened beings we develop a calm, balanced mind and awaken our own potential for enlightenment.

*In these sessions there is up to 30 minutes of silence for engaging in meditation. You may like to meditate on one of the stages of the path to enlightenment (Lamrim) which are explained in the New Meditation Handbook (library copies are available).

**These chanted meditations include a special food offering (tsog).You are welcome to bring an offering if you wish such as fruit or cake. Please feel free to stay for the tsog party afterwards when we enjoy the food ourselves.

#Precepts are 24 hour vows taken to improve mindfulness and accumulate good karma. More details and future dates>>

There is no cost to attend our chanted meditations. No need to book, just drop in. Beginners are welcome. Please arrive on time.
