Meditations for a Kind Heart
A kind heart is a special mental attitude that cherishes other people at least as much as we cherish ourselves. Cherishing others is not so difficult – all we need to do is to understand why we should cherish them, make a firm decision to do so, and then meditate repeatedly and sincerely on this decision.

Living Lightly
With Resident Teacher, Kadam John McBretney
Buddha said that the way things appear to us is deceptive and completely contradictory to the way in which they actually exist – and all our suffering and problems come from not understanding this. By realising emptiness, the way things really are, we will see that all phenomena are mere appearances to mind, like things seen in a dream.

Meditations for Relaxation
On this short guided retreat you will learn three simple meditations to make your mind calm and peaceful. We know that when the mind is not peaceful, it is very difficult to be happy and relaxed – even if we are living in the very best conditions.
