Meditation

7.30 – 9pm on Tuesday evenings 20th, 27th Sept and 4th Oct

'The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances. Learn how on Tuesday evenings - everyone can do it!
