August 7, 14, 21

December 4, 11, 18


Classes at the Portland Dharma Center

Thursdays from 7:20 - 9:30 pm

Meditation is the foundational practice of Zen Buddhism. Deep meditation helps to calm the body and settle the mind. In these classes you will be shown a variety of tools to help you meditate, and to open your heart to the world around you.

    

1st class : We offer a basic introduction to the physical and mental aspects of meditation.

2nd class : We walk you through different types of meditation, and look at how to bring meditation to your home.

3rd class : We discuss meditation retreats, facing obstacles, Zen ceremonies and the Buddhist community. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to attend these classes; meditation practice is available to everyone.

This class is open and free to the public.
No registration necessary, drop-in's welcome
