ILR571 Meditation in Everyday Life
3 sessions, 6 hours
Meditation is about making friends with oneself and
developing compassion towards others. Although relaxing is
often one of the byproducts of Buddhist meditation, the deeper
purpose of meditation is to be more fully present to one’s life,
being present on the spot rather than being riveted about
according to one’s hopes and fears, open to whatever comes up.
This course follows the teachings and meditative techniques of
Shambhala Buddhism.
