Guided meditation for beginners

Interested in learning Buddhist meditation? Our Buddhist Group meets on Thursdays at our house in Walker. (when NOT at the Ousburn Community Centre) for a guided public meditation on 16th Karmapa. These meditation classes are suitable for all who wish to learn to meditate. For newcomers there is always a short introduction to Buddhism and brief explanations on how to meditate. We have a small library with Buddhist books and magazines. The meditation methods used are from the Karma Kagyu, a lineage of Tibetan Buddhism that goes back 1,000 years. The presentation is fresh and free from cultural baggage. We regularly hold courses on Buddhism and Buddhist meditation classes, guided by experienced practitioners and travelling teachers appointed by Lama Ole Nydahl under the spiritual guidance of the 17th Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje. All weekly guided meditation classes are free of charge.
