An Introduction to Buddhism Course
6 Tuesday Evenings plus optional Wednesday evening
All we really want is to be happy. Yet our moments of happiness are all too brief and inevitably followed by the opposite: frustration, disappointment, anxiety, and anger. The Buddha called these ups and downs of life The Worldly Winds and he taught practical ways to deal with them and create peace and contentment in their place. This course will help you to cultivate your own greater sense of peace and contentment.
Each week will begin with a guided meditation and then, after a tea break we will introduce practical, down-to-earth teachings to help you transform your life. You don't need to be a Buddhist to join us (or even want to be one).

day by day. It also helps us to be kinder and more positive towards ourselves and others
In this five-week course you will learn three meditations: Mindfulness of the Body, Mindfulness of Breathing and Loving-Kindness Meditation Everyone over 18 is welcome (you don't have to be a Buddhist or wish to become one).
