Maybe a time for absorbing and integrating some of the teachings we have been given at Sangha nights over the last few months.

If you already have experience of the Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana (Loving Kindness) meditations that we practise in our sangha, join us on a Wednesday lunchtime to meditate with others and take your practice deeper.

Every Wednesday at the Bristol Buddhist Centre. The meditation finishes at 2pm, with the option to stay on until 2.30pm for tea and a chat.

You’ll be guided through the stages by an experienced practitioner, with the opportunity to discuss your experience and ask questions.
