FPMT Discovering Buddhism, Module 2 How to Meditate

Mondays, 6-7:30 pm March 25th –April 22nd, 2024 + Practice Day Sunday, April 28, 1:30 to 5:00 P.M.

In this class, we will discuss the definition and purpose of meditation plus learn basic meditation skills, including how to sit, how to set up a meditation session, different meditation techniques, and how to deal with obstacles in meditation.

How to Meditate is the second in a series of classes called Discovering Buddhism. In this course, we explore 13 essential topics in Buddhism, from Meditation to Karma to Death and Rebirth, and more! This is an excellent course of study for those who have some basics but want to go deeper into Buddhist philosophy.

DB was developed by the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition. Whether you want to work towards completing the Discovering Buddhism course or are simply interested in learning more about Tibetan Buddhism this class is a great place to start!
