Weekly Meditation · Every Tuesday · 7:00 PM

Tuesday Evening Meditation

A quiet weekly opportunity to practise meditation in the peaceful environment of Buddhaguna Buddhist Temple.

Meditation offers a practical way to cultivate steadiness and awareness. The practice is approached gently: settle the body, establish awareness, notice when the mind wanders, and return without forcing.

The session is open to everyone. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or completely new to meditation, you are warmly welcome to participate.

Settle the Body

Begin by allowing the body to become steady and at ease. An upright, comfortable posture supports attentive practice.

Establish Awareness

Bring gentle attention to the present moment. Meditation is not about forcing the mind to become blank, but cultivating awareness.

Return Gently

When attention wanders, notice it without frustration and gently return to the practice. This returning is itself part of meditation.

Practise Regularly

Regular practice can support calmness, mindful awareness, concentration, self-understanding and emotional balance within Buddhist practice.
