Learn to Meditate

Learn to Meditate - day course in Waipukurau
with Resident Teacher Birgit Saunders

When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.
– Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

This feeling of contentment and well-being helps us cope with the external difficulties and challenges of everyday life. Meditation can help us connect with that part of ourselves which is deeply peaceful.

By becoming more familiar with this peaceful side to ourselves through meditation, we are able to draw on it all the time: when things get challenging at work; in our relationships; or in the general hurly-burly of everyday life.
With practice over time, we can gradually learn to maintain a peaceful, happy and positive mind even in the most difficult circumstances – which makes life a great deal easier for ourselves – and probably more pleasant for those around us!

This day course is designed to give you methods to find and nurture your own mind’s potential for peace and stillness.
It provides a basis for continuing to practise meditation in your own time at home.
And with practice over time, we can gradually learn to maintain a peaceful, happy and positive mind even in the most difficult circumstances.

These classes are based on Buddha’s teachings on the mind, but you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, or to benefit from them. There is no physical exercise involved and you can choose to sit either in a chair or on a cushion. These classes are suitable for all levels of experience.
