Based on Buddhist Meditation 101: an FPMT course,
As our lives get more complicated, it seems we need more and more things to make us happy, but somehow we never really succeed. The simple truth eludes us, that happiness is a state of mind, not dependent on external objects. True, deep happiness lies within us and we can tap this great source through meditation.
During this day you will learn and practice basic meditation techniques. You will learn the definition and purpose of meditation, how to sit properly, how to set up a meditation session, the different types of meditation techniques you may employ, and how to recognise and deal with obstacles to meditation.
You will practice different types of meditation, and have space for questions and discussion.
Everyone welcome!
