Guided Vajrayana Buddhist Meditation

The event begins with a short introductory talk on Buddhism. This is followed by a guided Vajrayana Buddhist meditation. The meditation generally lasts ~20 minutes, and it is accessible and beneficial to people of all experience levels. You are welcome to stay afterwards to ask any questions or talk further.

We will have meditation cushions available, but you are welcome to bring your own if you like. Chairs can also be made available for those who need.

What Is Buddhist Meditation?

In Buddhism, meditation means "effortlessly remaining in what is". This state may be brought about by calming and holding the mind, when compassion and wisdom are realized, or by working with our bodies' energy channels and meditating on light forms of Buddhas.
