Tired of chasing happiness in the wrong places?

Join us at Simpson Village Hall, starting March 25th, for a 6-week course. Can we really find happiness in more and more distraction, and having ever more stuff? Buddhism tells us that this won’t work – but that there is a real happiness to be found, if we look in the right place.

• Learn two powerful meditation practices
• Change the way you see the world
• Acquire tools to become more like the person you want to be

Pay what you can (suggested £40 for the whole 6 weeks). Book now - spaces are limited!

Register now by DMing or emailing meditatemk@gmail.com

The Milton Keynes Meditation Association invites you to attend a day of Meditation Practice on Saturday October 11th from 10am to 4pm at Simpson Village Hall.

On this day we will highlight the two meditation practices we do within Triratna - the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Metta Bhavana (development of loving kindness). Some experience would be helpful but beginners are welcome and instruction will be provided.

Meditation is all about opening our hearts and minds, moving from reactive states into creative, positive ones that contribute to our well-being and also to the well-being of those around us and ultimately the world. For those people who already know the practices this day will help you go deeper with your meditation and for newcomers it can give you a real taste of what meditation has to offer.

Please bring a shared vegetarian or vegan lunch.

If you would like to attend you will need to message to book your place. Spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.

The Milton Keynes Meditation Association meets under the auspices of the Triratna Buddhist Order. We hold meditation classes every Tuesday at 7pm and we have Buddhism classes on Wednesdays at 7pm, both at Simpson Village hall. All are welcome. See our page for details.

Karma and rebirth are two of the most widely known teachings connected with Indian spiritual and philosophical teaching, yet they are often profoundly misunderstood. How does it work? And what happens after death? Join us at 7pm on Wednesday August 20th at Simpson Village Hall (MK6 3AD) as we explore the Buddhist perspective on these subjects.

Why not come along to find out! Everyone is welcome - hope you can join us at Simpson Village hall at 7pm on Wednesday 6th August.
