Tranquil Abiding
A special long weekend course with Gen Kelsang Päljin
In person @ Buddhaland Centre, Keighley and Livestreamed – Online
Friday 30 April, 7.30pm – Monday 3 May, 1pm
(available for 2 weeks on catch up)
Many people think they can’t meditate or feel limited in their ability to improve their mental focus. Buddhism offers a complete set of instructions on meditations which are practical and suitable for everyone. In this weekend course learn how to get started, make progress, and even how to perfect the art of meditating.
Tranquil abiding is a superior state of peace, clarity and stillness that arises through training in meditation gradually, stage by stage. In this course, we will focus on improving our meditation skills and our understanding of the mind. In particular, through training in mindfulness we learn how to meditate without distraction and how to deepen our concentration during our meditation.
This course is suitable for those new to Buddhist meditation and for those wishing to deepen their experience and understanding.
The course costs for the whole long weekend £40 (£15 for Monthly Members, £10 for FP Centre Members), or £18 for either Saturday only or Sunday only (£5 for Members).
You can attend the course in person at Buddha Land Centre, Keighley, or by livestream.

The sessions will be guided by Gen Kelsang Paljin, Resident Teacher of Buddha Land and Burnley Kadampa Buddhist Centre who is appreciated for offering clear guidance on meditation and living a a positive life.
