General Programme Buddhist Meditation Classes
The meditation classes in Bradford teach you how to gain an experience of inner peace through meditation. They are a great way to learn to meditate, to improve your meditation practice, or to learn new meditation techniques. Through meditation we can learn to relax, let go of our daily concerns and develop a fresh and positive outlook.
The classes in Bradford are taught by Gen Kelsang Päljin, a Budd
hist monk with over 20 years’ experience of practising and teaching Kadampa Buddhism. Päljin has been the Resident Teacher of Buddha Land Buddhist Centre, Keighley for the past 12 years. He is able to explain clearly and simply how we can apply meditation in our daily lives and so experience deep and lasting happiness.
The class is 45 minutes in length and includes guided meditations as well as explanations of how to practice and apply meditation. These classes are self contained so you can attend individual classes.
Everyone is welcome.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Face to face classes have been temporarily suspended, we do intend to run them again at our regular venues when the coronavirus emergency is over. However, we do still wish to be able to deliver Buddhist teachings on how to maintain inner peace, compassion and clarity of mind during these very difficult times.
We have taken the decision that our classes will now, temporarily, take place online. We intend to run the same classes at the same times and show them live online, with some live interaction possible with the teachers. Those wishing to be involved do need to book, via the link below, so that the connections can be set up. The cost per class will be the same as for the face to face classes.
