Meetings (meditation/talk/reflection) – every Tuesday 7.30-8.45pm.

Newcomers welcome!
Contact: exeter@dechen.org
These classes offer an introduction to meditation and Buddhism. All classes are open to everyone and no experience is needed. There is no need to book and you can come along to as many sessions as you wish.
Short talks outlining the Buddhist approach to living in the world, and its underlying philosophy for achieving happiness and contentment for ourselves and others.
How does Buddhism equip us to deal with the challenges of everyday life? What is its liberating and radical take on reality ? We shall explore the answers to these two questions – and the relation between them.
Each session begins with calm-abiding meditation, a platform for engaging with the teachings.
The sessions are run by a long-standing student of the meditation master and scholar Lama Jampa Thaye.
