Meditation at Buddhafield Events

From Buddhafield on Wed, 10 Apr, 2024 - 13:02

‘Meditation is the art of getting to know one’s own mind; getting to know one’s own mental and emotional states; getting to know oneself more and more deeply.

‘It is on the basis of this self-knowledge that we can begin to encourage the awareness and kindness that will bring a sense of richness and fulfilment to our lives, and from which compassionate action can spring.’

From ‘Change your Mind - A Practical Guide to Buddhist Meditation’ by Paramananda.
