What kind of meditation is practiced in the introductory courses?
There are various types of meditation in Tibetan Buddhism, and we practice a few of them in our introductory courses. In order to develop concentration for the rest of the day the morning session is generally a mindfulness meditation, focusing on the breath for example, while in the other sessions the teacher will guide students in doing analytical meditations on the topics covered in the previous classes. All meditations are led by the teacher or experienced Buddhist practitioners.
