| Description: | The Samatha meditation technique has its roots in the Thai Theravadin tradition, and was introduced to England in 1962 by a Thai meditation teacher.
Samatha means calm. Samatha meditation is an effective but gentle way of training the mind to develop inner strength and freedom from turmoil. This produces a happier and more unified state of mind, leading on to clarity and understanding. This path from calm to insight was followed by the Buddha himself and is a central tradition of Buddhist meditation.
By regular daily practice the chattering, unruly mind gradually becomes calmer and clearer. The way our mind works becomes less confusing to us and we begin to understand the habits of mind that hold us back from happiness and freedom. We become kinder to ourselves and those around us. Meditation is a practical matter: increased peace and awareness bring an ability to make the most of ourselves in our daily lives.
There are many kinds of Samatha meditation technique. This one is based on attention to the breath. Its form is particularly suitable for those looking for a way to develop meditation practice and the benefits it can bring, whilst continuing with the challenges of everyday life.
The Richmond Samatha class meets every Thursday night from 7.15pm.
Classes are open to all. No previous experience of meditation is required - beginners are welcome. Please feel free to join the class at any time.
There is no charge for teaching, but we welcome donations to cover the cost of the room hire.
