Kia ora koutou. A new bridge costing $685 million is to be built for walkers and cyclists crossing Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour.

It is hoped construction can begin mid-2022, in a plan unveiled just five days after cycling lobbyists broke through a police barrier and rode over the existing Harbour Bridge, demanding action.

Transport Minister Michael Wood said once begun, the new structure is expected to take five years to complete, and work will continue on interim use of existing harbour bridge lanes for cycling and walking.

“A stand-alone structure is the safest option that will not only provide a walking and cycling option for commuters but creates an outstanding piece of tourism infrastructure,” said Wood.

Meditation is about learning how to relate to the different states of consciousness that we experience.


The nine stages of Shamatha cover the whole spectrum of human experience, from states of mind that are completely overwhelmed by emotional and intellectual confusion to a state of mind which can sit in chaos quite comfortably. The gradual development of mental equanimity is the aim of the practice. These nine stages are graded according to the individual development of the meditator.


Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a pen, paper and an inquiring mind.

Sunday 13th June 10 – 11.30am
$25 / students $15

Please register with Nyima Tashi by email of phone as places are limited.

Curso introductorio: Los nueve niveles de la meditación Budista

La meditación en la tradición budista nos enseña a relacionarnos con diversos estados de conciencia que experimentamos diariamente. Los nueve niveles de la meditación Shamatha cubren todos los aspectos de la experiencia humana, desde estados de consciencia de confusión mental, intelectual y emocional hacia un estado mental que acomoda con facilidad el caos y la incertidumbre. El objetivo de la práctica meditativa en la tradición budista tiene como objetivo desarrollar un estado de ecuanimidad mental de manera gradual y sostenida.
