Talk on Meditation 10am Sunday - in English with Spanish translation

Admin from Nyima Tashi Kagyu Buddhist Centre

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.
