Meditation Class
•  Introduction to Buddhist Meditation
Have you ever wanted to give your mind a break from the business of the day? Have you ever wanted to cultivate a better appreciation of your mind? Have you ever hoped to improve your ability to focus your attention on a particular task? Have you ever sought to improve your ability to respond to people and situations with more compassionate and joy? Buddhist meditators have considered those questions for centuries, and have developed proven methods which should be useful for you. This course will introduce the elements of meditation and provide some practical suggestions for you to use, whether with your family, your workers, or when you are alone. The course should be useful for experienced meditators who are returning to the foundations of their meditation, as well as for those with no formal meditation training. All supplies will be provided and no experience is necessary. The instructor, Dr. Vic Bradford, has had an active meditation practice for over 30 years, is experienced in the Buddhist and Christian traditions, and has a Master's Degree in Asian Philosophy. The course is sponsored by Rocky Mountain Insight, a meditation group in the classical Buddhist (Theravada) tradition.
