What to Expect at a Class
Bodh Gaya Buddhist Centre offers 2 types of drop in classes in and around Wellington city.
Meditation & Buddhism Weekly classes are an introduction to Buddhist teachings and meditations applied to our Western lives. Through these classes we can learn how to use Buddha's advice as a solution to our daily problems. In this way we come to experience a sense of peace and happiness in our lives.
Each class includes a simple breathing meditation, a short talk and the opportunity to apply the teachings to your own life in a guided contemplative meditation. There is also time to ask questions and discuss over light refreshments.
Meditation For Beginners provides an opportunity to learn both basic and advanced meditation skills in a relaxed setting. Each week a new meditation is explained and you will be guided through the meditation. This is followed by a question and answer session where we discuss common problems that occur during meditation both in the class and when practicing at home. These classes are great for anyone who would like to introduce regular meditation to their life and experience the many benefits of having a peaceful mind.
Both classes are suitable for everyone, from complete beginners through to advanced practitioners. Everyone is welcome – you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, or to benefit from the classes – just drop into any class!
