Mantra and Meditation
Meditation Half Day Course
@ Burnley KBC
Saturday 14 June, 2pm – 5pm
In-person only
Join us for an inspiring introduction to the ancient practice of mantra recitation. Reciting mantras reduces disturbing emotions and negativity and increases positive states of mind.
Mantra means ‘mind protection’. It is the supreme method to purify and enhance the qualities of our body and mind. For centuries mantra recitation has been used to pacify the negative thoughts that give rise to suffering and thereby attain a peaceful mind. In this course we will learn the meaning of mantra and receive instructions on how to combine mantra recitation with breathing meditation. This is a simple and powerful method to attain a calm, controlled and positive mind and ultimately it is a cause of the supreme inner peace of enlightenment.
Half Day Courses offer the opportunity to learn more about Buddhist teachings and meditations for developing peace of mind. They are ideal for those who are new to Buddhist meditation and those who would like to improve.
Refreshments are available in our World Peace Café during the course.
The cost of the Meditation Half Day course is £15 (Monthly Members £5, FP Monthly Members £0).
Our monthly membership programme offers access to all our weekly classes as well as discounts on courses for only £20 per month – Learn more.
