This is for you.If you're familiar with meditation, perhaps you're curious about what comes next? Or about how love and compassion figure in the Buddhist path as a whole? This is for you.If you're a more experienced practitioner, perhaps you've connected with Loving Kindness practice in the past, but life is busy, and you'd like to reconnect. This is for you._________________________About our meditation coursesIn addition to presentation, discussion and meditation practice, these popular Friday evening courses are also a great way to meet others and to benefit from a shared journey of learning and discovery!“Excellent courses, designed not just to teach meditation but a new relationship to oneself, life, and others.

Each course in the series explores a key understanding and practice of the Buddhist path, running side-by-side with a gradual, experiential journey in 'calm-abiding' meditation, the foundational practice of meditation in Buddhist training. Each course gives guidance on the principles and practical basics of meditation practice, and is open to anyone curious about Buddhism, meditation or their own mind. Over the course of the year, as well as meditation itself, these courses cover core Buddhist topics such as: The vision behind meditation: what's the point of sitting still? Loving Kindness: the revolutionary practice of the heart. Training in compassion: what happens when we think more of others? Reflecting on change: making friends with uncertainty. Interconnectedness: dissolving the illusion of separateness. Exploring different methods of meditation: different strokes for different folks. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/lewes/buddhist-wisdom-letting-love-lead/100001985237271119 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, meditation, workshops, nonprofit, calendar, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: under_18_with_guardian - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: The Open Door - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Lewes - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Open Door - **lat**: 50.8731002 - **long**: 0.0121298 - **full address**: The Open Door, 32 High Street, Lewes, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Buddhist Wisdom: Letting Love Lead - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/242531876e453ce38d67914799adf8bf444e07e3dd075957bbc69c547c111981-rimg-w1200-h600-dc2bd5d4-gmir.jpg?v=1774310557 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Buddhist Wisdom: Letting Love Lead being held? - **A:** Buddhist Wisdom: Letting Love Lead takes place on Fri, 05 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Open Door, 32 High Street, Lewes, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Buddhist Wisdom: Letting Love Lead? - **A:** Buddhist Wisdom: Letting Love Lead is organized by Rigpa UK. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
