Find calm in an uncalm world – learn Calm-Abiding (Concentration) Meditation in an intensive 5-session course, in-person and online.

In our current times, perhaps more than ever, meditation can be a path to calming the mind and lessening afflictive emotions; a way to finding calm in an uncalm world.

This class is meant for beginners as well as for more advanced meditators. Our groups are often made up of first-time meditators, but there are many who have already practiced meditation and are seeking another method or who wish to learn in a different tradition. We teach from the perspective of the Tibetan Buddhist Gelug lineage – the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. However, it is not necessary to be a Buddhist and the teachings are applicable in any path.

Over the 5 weeks of the course, we will first explore the origins of the Buddhist teachings on meditation, the advantages of calm-abiding and special insight, and preparing our minds for hearing the teachings. We will train in the preliminaries – how to prepare a space for meditation and how to develop the motivation for practice – and the conditions for developing calm-abiding and deep mental focus. Then the main focus will be to explore in depth the path to attaining calm-abiding by understanding the obstacles to calm-abiding and the antidotes to those obstacles, and in so doing to progress along the 9 stages to calm-abiding.
