About this program
What is meditation? Why do people meditate? Is there more than one type of meditation and if yes, how do I know which is the most suitable one for me? What is the difference between samātha (calmness) meditation & vipassanā (insight) meditation? And how will meditation affect my life and make it better?

This Meditation for Beginners class will give you answers to these questions and provide you with basic meditation training which you can nurture further on your own. There will be guided meditation sessions introducing different themes as well as a presentation on the benefits of meditation. This class is open to Dhamma practitioners who do not have any experience in meditation as well as non-practitioners who wish to learn the basics of meditation and know more about its role in the practice of Buddhism.
