Kadampa Meditation: Reflecting on Life’s Meaning

Join Kelsang Tsodog in Lugano for breathing meditation, a Buddhist teaching and guided reflection on what gives life meaning.

About this experience

This Centro Menla meeting brings a practical introduction to Kadampa Buddhist meditation to Hotel Pestalozzi. Kelsang Tsodog guides an evening centred on the question of life’s meaning, drawing on Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book How to Transform Your Life. The invitation is open to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

What you can expect

The evening begins with breathing meditation, followed by a Buddhist explanation and a guided meditation on the theme. The meeting lasts 90 minutes. The organiser presents the format as an introduction as well as an opportunity for ongoing practice.

Good to know before you go

A single meeting costs CHF 15; the CHF 10 rate is for students and AVS/AHV recipients. Attendance is included for eligible PA/PG subscription holders. Choose “28 ottobre” for this meeting on the organiser’s registration page, not a monthly bundle or another date. This listing covers that specific meeting; other shop options are separate. The venue is Hotel Pestalozzi, Piazza dell’Indipendenza 9, Lugano, not the centre’s Locarno address in the website footer. Source information is in Italian; confirm language needs directly. The cover is the official October programme poster and also shows earlier meetings. Meditation is presented here as a spiritual practice, not treatment for anxiety or depression.
