How to Meditate with Vinod at Jamyang

The space for questions after meditation makes this more than a guided sit. It gives people learning the practice a chance to talk through what they notice with an experienced teacher.

Find a little room to pause and meet your experience with kindness. Vinod guides this separately bookable class within Jamyang’s six-week course, bringing mindfulness and loving-kindness together in a practice the centre calls Heartfulness.

Guided meditation is followed by around 15 minutes for sharing, discussion and questions. Mindfulness brings attention to the present moment; loving-kindness practises a friendly attitude towards yourself and others. Optional exercises help you continue between sessions, and complete beginners are welcome.

Join at Jamyang London Buddhist Centre, 43 Renfrew Road, London SE11 4NA, or via Zoom. The recommended donation is £15 for this class; reduced rates are available and no one is excluded for financial reasons. Chairs and cushions are provided on site. Booking helps the centre plan, though walk-ins are welcome. Online attendance includes interactive questions and recording access.
