Meditations for modern life
With Ralph Sueppel
Tuesdays 7.30 - 8.45pm
This live online class teaches Buddhist meditations for happiness and success. Modern life can be overwhelming. Stress, anxiety and depression are widespread. Merely working harder or changing external circumstances cannot solve our human problems. Happiness and success depend on our state of mind and, hence, we must learn how to train our mind.

Meditations for a Kind Heart
With Mark Furman
Wednesdays 12.30 - 1.15pm
A kind heart is a special mental attitude that cherishes other people at least as much as we cherish ourself. It is grounded in the commonsense thinking: 'Just as I wish for happiness and not suffering, so to does everyone else. In this respect we are all exactly the same.' As Geshe Kelsang Gyatso says, "A good heart always gives good results."

Take Control, Choose Happiness
With Resident Teacher Kadam John McBretney
Thursday 7.30 - 8.30pm
Wouldn’t it be great if we could simply choose not to be unhappy? On this course we can learn how to make a determined choice to follow thoughts and ideas that lead to happiness and learn how not just be led by strong negative emotional habits. In this way we can wake up with happiness everyday and know that we can always do this. Imagine having the ability to always choose happiness, even when everything is going wrong. Everyone can learn to do this.

How does Kadampa meditation help?
Modern life is challenging and if we lack the inner resources to control our mind, we will inevitably find life stressful and difficult to manage, giving rise to feelings of anxiety, irritation and even loneliness and depression. This can make us feel unhappy and helpless, and it can also have an impact on our relationships as we become less able to cope constructively with disagreements and differences in our views and wishes.

Kadampa meditation gives us the solution. The meditations taught, and the teachings which help us to understand what to meditate on, give us techniques to understand where our unhappiness and problems are coming from and how to change them. Not only this, but over time, we will learn to transform difficult situations into opportunities for growth and development, so that instead of feeling powerless when faced with a difficult situation, we will come to welcome difficulties into our life as they provide the actual means with which to bring about positive change and spiritual development. In this way, peace and happiness will become our daily experience, and we will approach life with a new confidence and sense of purpose.
"If our mind is pure and peaceful we will be happy, regardless of our external circumstances, but if it is impure and unpeaceful we will never be happy, no matter how hard we try to change the external conditions."

Places to meditate in London
ALL OUR MEDITATION VENUES ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED
The Kadampa meditation classes in London normally run on a weekly basis. They feature guided meditations and practical advice on how to use Buddha's teachings to solve our daily problems. These local classes will resume once circumstances allow.
Classes are taught by a qualified teachers and follow the teachings of the New Kadampa Tradition; a modern Buddhist tradition founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
The Centre also runs regular weekend meditation courses and pujas or chanted prayer sessions, all of which are suitable for beginners.
Group meditation classes for beginners

Once the conditions allow, in-person, local meditation classes will resume. These classes are taught in groups and everyone is welcome; you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend or to benefit from the meditations and methods taught.
The classes are well-suited to those new to meditation - all meditations are guided and are clearly explained by the teacher before the meditation begins.
Each class also includes a talk covering a specific aspect of Buddha's teachings. These topics are all scientific methods to improve our human nature and good qualities. For more information about these topics you can download a free copy of one of the books used to teach the classes, such as How to Transform Your Life, by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
While our London meditation venues are closed, everyone is welcome to join our online meditation classes.

Everyone is welcome
"Happiness is a part of the mind that experiences inner peace, or peace of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions."
