Meditation
For those interested in exploring meditation we offer courses and drop-ins which provide grounding in in the meditation practices we share within the Triratna Buddhist Community. The 2 main practices we teach are the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Metta Bhavana.
These practices are an integral part of the Triratna Buddhist tradition and of our ‘System of Practice’.
The Mindfulness of Breathing practice helps to develop awareness, integration and an understanding of the way the mind works.
Listen to a guided, taught Mindfulness of Breathing meditation.
Listen to a lightly guided Mindfulness of Breathing meditation.
The Metta Bhavana practice helps to cultivate positive emotion, compassion and an ‘opening of the heart’.
Listen to a guided Metta Bhavana meditation.
Both of these practices form the initial stages of an exploration of meaning and purpose within busy modern life. Not only does meditation help with awareness and positive emotion it also helps to point you towards an onward journey onto the ‘path of transformation’.
