Meditation & Modern Buddhism in Norfolk

05/09/2025

Always learning something new, so had to take the existing plaster back to the brickwork and now in the process of applying several coats of plaster. Actually it was was a good practice of patience from start to finish.

As Shantideva says in Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life:

If something can be remedied
Why be unhappy about it?

And if there is no remedy for it,
There is still no point in being unhappy.

This term Looking at fear and anxiety and we will be teaching from How to solve our human problems, so instead of getting anxious or fearful why not try one of our classes.

Ps always looking for people to help Norpel with the DIY a 400 year old house has no simple fixes but it is great fun in helping us train our mind.

See you soon

Ps we have an open day next Saturday , perfect to have a look around and engage in a free guided meditation.

GOOD ADVICE FOR SUCCESSFUL MEDITATION

5 Things every meditator should do everyday:

1) Preparation
Begin each meditation with a positive intention to benefit yourself and others.

2) Contemplation
Use analytical meditation to bring to mind the object of placement meditation.

3) Meditation
When the object appears clearly, concentrate on it single-pointedly.

4) Dedication
At the end of each session, dedicate your merit towards benefiting others.

5) Subsequent Practice
Carry your meditation into your daily life so that it pervades your whole life.
