Beginner’s Meditation Workshop

 

This 4-part Beginner’s Meditation Workshop is perhaps the most systematic and thorough introduction to the practice of Buddhist meditation available anywhere, benefiting practitioners of all levels. It covers the prerequisite conditions when preparing for meditation, proper sitting postures, techniques for relaxation, and basic methods of concentration. Plus other supporting techniques to regulate the body, mind, and spirit such as self-massage, yoga exercises, and daily mindfulness techniques. In this workshop you will not only learn sitting meditation but also breathing, walking, standing and sleeping meditation.

The workshop is offered every three months in online Zoom format.

Dates: TBD
Fees: $120.  Additional donations would be appreciated.

 

 

Weekly Meditation

 

The key to a fruitful meditation experience and a solid foundation is by developing a routine of sitting schedules – you will notice the difference in a couple of months. Our weekly meditations including sitting, walking meditation, mindful Chan Yoga, eight-form moving meditation and Dharma talks are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Start with one of the weekly meditation practice programs that is most suitable and convenient for you. You can certainly go on to other programs when you desire a longer sitting period or different practice methods.
