The Walks for World Peace combine walking and meditation, giving an opportunity to meet like minded people from the various meditation groups run by Buddha Land. Walks typically last up to 3hrs including a break for meditation and lunch. On route there is a simple guided meditation that is suitable for beginners and those experience in meditation alike.
Meditation is a powerful technique for developing a peaceful mind and inner good qualities. The meditation workshops provide quality meditation with clear explanations of the skills required to create stillness within, but are shorter and lighter than our day courses.
A meditation workshop consists of two sessions that include guided meditations, explanation, and discussion. The emphasis is on practicing meditation and applying the experience we gain from it to improve the quality of our life.
Workshops are a perfect way to both relax and develop internally. They are ideal for those who are new to meditation and those who would like to improve.
Enjoy calming guided meditations and short teaching followed by a speciality brunch at our World Peace Café, and a chance to meet others interested in meditation.
At the same time a Children’s Meditation Class will be held in our second meditation room making meditation accessible for young people. The children’s classes include a short teaching, guided meditation and craft activities.
