What we’re about
Welcome to Samadhi! We aim to introduce people to meditation and mindfulness, and to help them integrate these practices into their daily life. Everyone is welcome to join our sessions!
We engage in various meditations from the Buddhist and other contemplative traditions. Drawing on the practical experience of meditation, psychology, and Buddhist wisdom, we look at insights, teachings and new ways of thinking which help us unwind, relax, let go of things like stress and anxiety, and cultivate positive minds such as patience, compassion, and equanimity.
With a regular meditation practice, you will gain greater and greater peace of mind and discover a more positive approach to life, as well as improved levels of emotional and mental health. Meditation has numerous benefits for the health of both your body and mind, is easy to do, and something everyone can learn.
"Since nearly everyone living in the modern world is coping with an overload of thinking, remembering, and planning this may be just what the doctor ordered: a general prescription for soothing and healing overworked bodies and minds." – B. Alan Wallace

- Buddhist Study Group – The Eight Verses of Training the MindLink visible for attendees
This Module is part of The Buddha’s Path (our foundational study programme) and introduces one of the most transformative teachings of the Mahayana tradition: Lojong, or Buddhist mind training.
Lojong is a profound and practical method for transforming all of life’s circumstances, pleasant or painful, into the spiritual path. This approach teaches us how to embody bodhicitta in daily life, how to live and train in the world as a Bodhisattva.
At its heart, Lojong is about shifting the emphasis from self-centredness to cherishing others, and using daily life as the training ground for compassion, patience, and wisdom.
In this course, we will undertake a line-by-line exploration of Geshe Langri Tangpa’s classic lojong text, The Eight Verses of Training the Mind. Composed in the 11th century, these verses are revered for their profound simplicity and depth. They capture the essence of the Mahayana path – compassion, wisdom, and the transformation of self-grasping – and offer a complete guide to the inner life of a bodhisattva. Even a single line, it is said, encapsulates the entire teaching of the Buddha.
Booking & Donation:
This Online Study Group relies entirely on donations. Only through your honest generosity will we be able to continue offering these sessions for the benefit of all. You can make a donation using one of the options at the checkout.
