"What Buddha discovered about the nature of mind and the world brought him freedom, understanding and complete contentment."
Lama Jampa Thaye

Starting 4 October, we'll be hearing about, reflecting upon and discussing the steps that take us along the way to the same peace and happiness experienced by the Buddha.

**Session format**
Each week we start with some meditation to settle the mind (instructions given) followed by some content and reflection. There is also time for conversation and coffee from 11.30am.

**Course instructors**
There are four instructors for this course: Adrian, Ed, Emma and Rachel and you can read more about us [here](https://www.sakyabristol.org/about/instructors/).

**Course text and attendance**
Copies of the course text are available at the Centre but there's no need to have one (unless you wish to!), just come along. Whilst this is a course, you're welcome to attend to any sessions you can make. You may find a notebook handy to remember key points.

**Donations**
There is no charge for these sessions but we welcome donations, which help us to maintain the Sakya Buddhist Centre and its activities. You can donate [here](https://www.sakyabristol.org/donations/) or at the Centre.

If you'd like to take a look at some helpful content, you'll find lots of resources [here](https://www.sakyabristol.org/whats-on/bristol-buddhist-meditation-classes/discover-buddhism-videos-for-meditation-and-reflection/).

We look forward to seeing you - comment or message me with any queries - thanks!
