Meditation - Melbourne

Meditation is a process of coming to know your own mind. A way of understanding and working with your mind, and being with your mind so you get the best out of it.
The essence of shamatha, the first of the basic meditation practices, is non-distraction. Shamatha involves allowing the mind to settle into a state of calm abiding. It is the antidote to distraction, the root of ignorance.
The ultimate purpose of meditation is to awaken in us the sky-like nature of mind, and to introduce us to who we really are and the unchanging pure awareness which underlies the whole of life and death.

We offer regular drop-in meditation sessions following the authentic lineage of the Tibetan Buddhist wisdom tradition. Our meditation sessions are perfect for busy people without any meditation experience, right through to seasoned meditators. Step by step guidance will help you build confidence in your own meditation practice and inspire you to establish a daily practice.
