The General Program meditation classes are designed to give a broad introduction to Buddhist meditation, ideas, and practice. The classes combine guided meditation with practical spiritual advice that you can immediately apply as a method for solving the stress and problems in your life. In these classes you will learn how to meditate, how to establish a daily practice, how to concentrate, and how to overcome distractions. You will learn different meditation techniques that will help you overcome negative states of mind, such as selfishness, and cultivate positive states of mind, such as patience and love.

 

The classes are open to those who are able to attend only occasionally, as well as to those wishing to follow a systematic series of classes. The classes are designed both as a series and as individual classes, so you can attend any individual class - even if the series has already started.

Classes are currently being offered in the following locations:

• Atisha Buddhist Centre
  
• The Danforth/Coxwell Library
• Pickering - new classes begin January 2010
