Breath and Mantra Meditation in Geneva

The programme gives time to try the same practice in four guided meditations, with teaching alongside it and a pause between sessions.

Guèn Kelsang Jikgyob teaches a breathing meditation using the mantra OM AH HOUM. The first hour combines teaching with two guided meditations, followed by a 30-minute break with coffee, tea and a snack. The second hour returns to teaching and two guided meditations. The centre welcomes beginners and people who are not Buddhist; you can sit on a chair or a floor cushion.

Standard admission is CHF 16. The CHF 5 rate is for PF/PFE pass holders; benefactor members are included through their membership. The venue is CMK de Genève, 41 bis route de Frontenex, 1207 Genève, near the 31 décembre bus stop. The centre confirms wheelchair access. Wear comfortable clothes and remove your shoes inside; bring writing materials only if you want to take notes. The source programme is in French.

This urban meditation morning at Centre de méditation Kadampa Genève explores a breathing practice combined with the mantra OM AH HOUM. Guèn Kelsang Jikgyob leads two teaching sessions, each with two guided meditations. A shared refreshment break separates the sessions. The focus is on working with a restless mind through a specific Buddhist practice, rather than a residential retreat.
