Meditation & Modern Buddhism in Athens

Every Wednesday from September, starting on the 2nd,
you are most welcome to join in for a relaxed evening of
Buddhist meditation, discussion and tea.

Our cosy space in Ano Petralona is conducive for learning to
familiarise ourself with something we all have the potential to develop:
the power of our mind.

Buddha discovered 2500 years ago that we each have a natural reservoir of inner peace in our mind which is the source of genuine and lasting happiness. Learning how to tap into this reservoir is one of the most meaningful and beneficial things we can do for ourself and others.

These uplifting evenings will give you the opportunity to
*explore simple meditation techniques
*learn about timeless Buddhist mind-training methods
*connect with like-minded people in a supportive environment.

No prior experience is required and everyone is welcome !
The first session is free and for any subsequent attendance there is
a suggested contribution of 7 EUR.

The meditations are guided by Felix de Bousies, an experienced meditator who has been studying and practising Kadampa Buddhism
for almost 15 years.

Hoping to welcome you at any of these sessions !
For any questions, don't hesitate to write
or to contact Felix at +32479401114 (Whatsapp or Sms))

Join us for a relaxed and inspiring evening with Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Ananda, exploring Buddhist approaches to healing and inner well-being. We’ll look at how our states of mind affect the way we experience difficulties, and how meditation can help us develop greater peace, resilience and positivity from within.
The evening is based on the teachings of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche and is designed for everyone. No previous experience of meditation or Buddhism is needed.

### What to expect

Arrival & welcome
Come a little early, get settled and meet some of the other participants.
Guided meditation
We'll begin with a simple meditation to relax the body and calm the mind.
Public talk — Healing Begins in the Mind
Gen Ananda will introduce the Buddhist understanding of the relationship between our mind, suffering and healing, with practical advice that we can apply in everyday life.
Questions & conversation
There will be time for questions at the end and an opportunity to stay around, chat and meet people.

### What should I bring?

Nothing special! Just come as you are. We have chairs and meditation cushions available, so you can sit in whichever way is most comfortable for you.
You may want to bring a notebook if you like taking notes.
