Talk on Meditation 10am Sunday - in English with Spanish translation
Meditation is about learning how to relate to the different states of consciousness that we experience.
The nine stages of Shamatha cover the whole spectrum of human experience, from states of mind that are completely overwhelmed by emotional and intellectual confusion to a state of mind which can sit in chaos quite comfortably. The gradual development of mental equanimity is the aim of the practice. These nine stages are graded according to the individual development of the meditator.
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a pen, paper and an inquiring mind.
Sunday 13th June 10 – 11.30am
$25 / students $15
Please register with Nyima Tashi by email of phone as places are limited.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
