About This Event

The Sakya Buddhist Centre in Bristol offers a weekly session for those interested in Buddhism, featuring meditation and discussions on relevant topics. The session includes a calming meditation followed by a talk on simplifying life and reducing busyness. Donations are welcome, but there is no set fee for attendance.

For anyone with an interest in Buddhism. 1 hour from 7:30 pm on Tuesdays. 20 minutes of calm abiding/settling meditation. We explain the practice every week so no experience necessary. This is followed by a short talk on a Buddhist topic by an experienced person (either Deborah, Simon, Aurielle or Daniel). We're currently doing a course on the '4 thoughts that turn the mind' which encourages us to simplify our life and turn away from busyness. You can stay around for refreshments after. We normally leave around 9:30pm. You can sit on cushions or a chair. Held in our traditional Tibetan shrine room at our temple in St Andrews, near the top of the park. no fee but donations welcome.
