Introduction to Buddhism Morning Saturday
Saturday 21 September 2024 10am – 1:30pm
.. at The Quaker Meeting House, 21 Thorpe Road, Peterborough, PE3 6AB.
Come along and learn about Buddhist Meditation. We are a group that meets weekly and we wanted to put on an event focused on Newcomers. You may be familiar with meditation; perhaps you meditate on your own or you practice with a different Buddhist group (We are part of the Triratna Buddhist Community). Either way you are welcome to join us for the morning to introduce you to two of our main meditations; Mindfulness of Breathing and the Metta Bhavana (loving kindness).
Chairs will be available on the day to meditate. There will be a small number of meditation cushions to try out. If you are a regular meditator then you are welcome to bring along whatever you use.
There is no charge for this event. We ask for a donation if people are able in order to cover the cost of the room hire but we don't want the cost to stop people accessing the Dharma (Buddhist teachings).
The morning will be led by Anantamati (female order member):
10.30am - 12.30pm Introduction to our community, some brief guidance on meditation posture, and experiencing led meditations of the Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana
12.30pm - 1.30pm a chance to stay for a shared lunch (please bring some vegan/vegetarian food to share) and meet some of our regular attendees to the group.
Looking forward to the event. Hope you can make it
