What is meditation?
At first, meditation involves cultivating the
attention. Imagine being able to effortlessly focus
on a chosen object for as long as you’d like. Once
the mind is made serviceable by this ability to
focus – then meditation can be used to analyze
reality in such a way the leads to the permanent
cessation of mental affliction.
Can I do it?
Yes. If you have the desire to meditate, it is most
certainly within your capacity.
How do I do it?
Join us every Sunday for 11 weeks to learn and
practice meditation. At the end of this course,
there will be a special weekend urban retreat by
guest teacher Douglas Veenhof, an international
meditation instructor who comes to Vancouver
only twice a year! Drop-in’s welcome.
