Meditation
The meditation practices we teach are open to everyone. Our practice is gentle and everyone can learn according to their wish and their capacity. Within these practices you can find everything from simple relaxation techniques to profound methods leading to the attainment of the pure everlasting happiness and inner peace.
Why meditate?
If we examine our life we will discover that most of our time and energy is devoted to mundane activities, such as seeking material and emotional security, enjoying sensory pleasures, or establishing a good reputation. Although these can make us happy for a short time, they are not able to provide the deep lasting contentment that we long for. Sooner or later our happiness turns into dissatisfaction. Directly or indirectly, worldly pleasures cause us mental and physical suffering by stimulating attachment, jealousy, and frustration. Moreover, seeking to fulfil our own desires often brings us into conflict with others.
Find peace from within
Happiness is a state of mind, therefore the real source of happiness lies in the mind, not in external circumstances. If our mind is pure and peaceful we will be happy, regardless of our external conditions, but if it is impure and not peaceful, we will never find happiness, no matter how much we try to change our external conditions.
The purpose of meditation is to cultivate those states of mind that are conducive to peace and well-being, and to eradicate those that are not. Meditation is an effective tool to combat stress, depression, anxiety and other negative habits of the mind. Through learning meditation we develop habits of positive thinking.
