Monthly Meditation Practice with Lama Alasdair

Meditation Sunday – These sessions are suitable for meditators of all levels, with guided meditation from experienced sangha members, and are offered free of charge. We hope you can join us.

This month’s session is led by Lama Alasdair. Lama Alasdair has been a student of Kyabje Chime Rinpoche for over fifty years and has completed the traditional three-year retreat practices at Naro Ling men’s retreat centre, Chateau de Plaige. He was Rinpoche’s resident Lama at Kagyu Cho Khor Ling in the Black Forest.

Shamatha (or ‘Shi-ne’) is the foundation for all further meditation practice. It is designed to create the calm, stable, supple mind necessary to work with other meditation techniques, as well as being a practice in its own right.
