Weekly Thursday Meditation

Buddhismus in Berlin Zentrum bietet Raum für die gemeinsame Praxis. Der Fokus liegt auf traditionellen Techniken wie Shamata, dem ruhigen Verweilen, und Vipassana, der analytischen Meditation. Du lernst verschiedene Objekte für die Konzentration kennen. Dazu gehören Atem, Körperwahrnehmung, Klänge oder Emotionen, sowohl mit geschlossenen als auch offenen Augen. Nach der Praxis bleibt Zeit für Austausch bei einer Tasse Tee. Die Gruppe ist offen für alle Erfahrungsstufen, vom Neuling bis zum Fortgeschrittenen.

In our weekly Thursday Meditation we give a full introduction into the traditional Buddhist meditation techniques. We delve into the technique of shamata meditation - calm abiding - and try out multiple objects of meditation such as the breath, the aliveness of the body, visual objects, sound, smell, emotions/ feelings and so on. We learn how to meditate with eyes closed and with eyes open. We also explore more free and non-conceptual meditation states related to the technique called vipassana - analytical/ wisdom meditation - such as open awareness and authentic awareness. We serve tea and there is lots of room to practice together and share our experiences. Everyone is welcome be it first-timer, beginner, intermediate or advanced meditator! We are excited that our Bhutanese friend Polu Tulku is kindly hosting our meditations til the end of November. Polu has studied Buddhist Philosophy extensively and, in addition, has a strong meditation background. He is with us in Berlin for the next few weeks and months, and we are extremely excited to hang out, explore, and practice together. 🕢 7.30 - 9 PM / doors open 7.15 PM 📍BODHISPACE (Neckarstr. 12, 12053 Berlin) ✅ min.
