Melrose Meditation Class
Thursdays 7-8:15pm
With Buddhist Teacher Chammy Sirisena
Small Actions That Change Everything
3 week course | Thursdays September 24, October 1, 8 | 7 – 8.15pm
Suitable for everyone, these classes are ideal for beginners as well as those wishing to refresh or deepen their meditation practice.
Do the small things we do each day actually matter? In Buddhism, the answer is a definite yes. This beginner-friendly three-week series introduces karma in the most practical way possible — not as some abstract cosmic law, but as a simple truth about cause and effect you can start using immediately. Each week offers simple, practical tools and guided meditations for bringing more awareness into your everyday actions, words, thoughts and intentions so the small choices you make daily start working for you instead of against you. No previous experience or knowledge of meditation needed. Drop in to any single week, or join for the whole series.
Each class includes 2 guided meditations, a practical teaching, and time for questions.
Meditation is done seated in chairs.
This course is perfect for beginners as well as anyone wishing to refresh or deepen their meditation practice.
