Our monthly drop in session on the first Saturday of every month now has two elements and you can join for one or both as you prefer.
First we have a simple hour of lightly led meditation, suitable for all levels of experience. If you need help with meditation posture, come along at 9.45 when we open the session. Meditation will begin promptly at 10.00, usually led by Amoghamitra. That's followed of course by tea/coffee and chat for those who wish to stay on for a while.
At 11:30 those who are familiar with, or would like to try out, devotional practice are invited to join us for a Puja and chanting. This is an excellent opportunity to engage with Pujas which are part of Triratna’s rich repertoire. Usually led by Satyacitta.
Suitable for all, with or without meditation experience. Just turn up.

Vision and Transformation
Monthly Saturdays 10.30 - 5.00 pm.
Aberystwyth Quaker Meeting House.
September 21st, October 19th, November 16th, December 21st.
With Maitrisiddhi, Satyacitta and Upayalila.
Buddhism offers us an inspiring vision of what it means to be a human being, but it doesn’t stop there. It also gives us ways to transform our emotions - and our life - in the light of this vision.
Using a combination of teaching, discussion, meditation and practical exercises this series which is suitable for all, will help you deepen your vision, develop more emotional warmth and positivity, and apply the wisdom of Buddhism to all areas of your life.
We have a sangha lunch from 13:00-14:15, so why not bring some veggie or ideally vegan food to share and join us. Open whether you come for morning, afternoon or both sessions. Further dates for early in 2025 to follow.
The afternoon will explore each topic in a little more depth, and is probably more suitable to people who have already attended the morning, or who have a previous knowledge of the Noble Eightfold Path and are open to devotional practice.
Mats, cushions and beverages supplied.
