Details

Wherever we go, our mind goes with us. What is meditation, and how does it work? Why do people turn to it today? While many people think of meditation as a single practice, it is in fact a broad term that encompasses many different approaches. In this talk, we’ll explore meditation through a Buddhist-informed perspective, examining the views underpinning different methods, the dynamics of how they function, and the kinds of inner transformation they are designed to cultivate. Join us as we sample a range of techniques and consider how meditation fits into contemporary life.
