Buddhism meditation

Kopan Monastery

Kopan Monastery offers short
residential courses in Buddhist meditation and practice throughout the year. These courses
give a theoretical and practical introduction to Buddhist philosophy of the Tibetan
Mahayana Tradition. They are based on one of the principal teachings of this tradition
called 'The Graded Path to Enlightenment' (Lam Rim).
The courses combine lectures and teachings with meditation practice and discussion of
relevant topics in a more informal way.
A three day retreat with intensive guided meditation on the Graded Path to Enlightenment
follows the course. |
The course is led by a Western nun
with daily teachings from a Tibetan Lama, combining two styles of transmission of this
precious knowledge on how to make life meaningful and worthwhile.

Children's Course
|
The Course ;
Vipassana courses are held regularly at permanent centres and rented
sites in different countries. In addition to frequent ten day courses
, special courses and long courses of 20,30 and 45 days are periodically
offered for advanced students. Short children's courses in Anapana,
the introductory part of the Vipassana technique, are regularly
offered. The courses last for one to three days and serve children
in two age groups : eight to eleven and twelve to fifteen.
All courses throughout the world are run solely on the basis of
freely offered donations. There is no fee charged, the course is
financed totally by donations from students who have completed a
prior course and wish to share the benefits they themselves received
by giving donations for the students who come after them. Neither
the teacher nor the assistant teachers receive remuneration , they
and those who serve the course volunteer their time. This practice
is consistent with the pure tradition , whereby the teaching is
to be offered freely, free from any taint of commercialism, and
supported by donations stemming from the wholesome volitins of gratitude
and generosity.
