We all long for freedom. Freedom from pain, suffering and problems.
We also all long for the happiness that comes from permanent inner peace.
These are the two basic wishes of every living being and we spend our whole life working hard to fulfil these wishes. However, to date we have not found a method to achieve these wishes.
Buddhist teachings hold a profound lineage showing us how to free our mind off all painful feelings and awaken the causes of a supreme inner peace that is limitless in nature.
By learning how to control our mind we can awaken our extraordinary potential. We can develop the profound spiritual realisations of universal love, compassion, concentration and wisdom. We can discover an inner peace and joy that nothing, not even death, can destroy. With this awakened experience our ability to benefit others will be much greater.

Here are some common questions that people ask about our meditation classes. If you have any other questions please contact us and we will be happy to help you in anyway.
Q) What is meditation?
The purpose of meditation is to cultivate positive states of mind, conducive to peace and well-being, and overcome negative habits of mind. Happiness is a state of mind, therefore the real source of happiness lies in the mind, not in external conditions. When our mind is peaceful we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and we experience true happiness.
Meditation is a technique used by millions of people to develop a calm and peaceful mind. It reduces stress, anxiety, and other negative states of mind and promotes physical and mental well-being. The meditations we guide are non-sectarian, non-judgemental, and universal. They are simple and accepted methods to help people tackle the stress and anxiety associated with the challenges of modern daily life.
