classes at Tara Centre

Meditation classes at Tara Centre teach basic meditation and the practice of Kadampa Buddhism. The purpose of these classes is to help people to find inner peace through meditation, to overcome their daily problems, and to find real happiness in their hearts.

Each class consists of guided meditations, a talk and discussion. They last about two hours, including refreshments. The classes are suitable for everyone from beginners to experienced meditators. Each class is self contained, though you are welcome to attend the whole course. They provide an ideal introduction to meditation and Buddhism, teaching effective and practical methods for overcoming problems and increasing happiness in daily life.

We currently run three meditation classes each week at the Centre:

Gen Kelsang Jigme7.00pm Sundays with Gen Kelsang Jigme *

Kelsang Gewang 7.30pm Wednesdays with Kelsang Gewang

Ruth Coulbeck11.00am Fridays with Ruth Coulbeck
