Join the Sangha for our weekly study group.
These sessions are ideal for anyone who wishes to study the teachings further in a systematic and in-depth way, and meaningfully put them into practice.
At present, we are studying Shamatha.
During this series, we will explore in theory and practice a range of methods for developing meditative quiescence, or shamatha.
The achievement of shamatha is widely regarded in the Buddhist tradition as an indispensable foundation for the cultivation of contemplative insight (vipashyana), and period of study is designed to provide a theoretical understanding and an experiential basis to enable you to proceed effectively toward this extraordinary state of mental and physical balance.
The purpose of shamatha meditation is to stabilise the mind by cultivating a steady awareness of the object of meditation. Shamatha meditation allows us to experience our mind as it is, calming our thoughts and emotions, and experiencing a tranquility of mind unlike any other. With shamatha as our foundation, we can unlock the true power of our mind.
