"Pure, unobstructed wisdom arises from meditation."
The practice of sitting in meditation develops right mindfulness and keeps the mind clear and aware. Through meditation, we learn to face the ups and downs of everyday life with strength, wisdom, and peace of mind.
All meditation courses are taught by formally trained Buddhist monks. They are offered in four levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and sutra study. Every class includes guided meditation and instruction on Buddhist teachings. Students learn meditation methods such as breath counting, mindfulness of breathing, and contemplation on compassion.
Additionally, instructors introduce Buddhist teachings step-by-step, explaining their relevance to daily life with clear explanations and insightful examples. By completing a meditation course, students will have established a solid foundation for their spiritual practice, and gained an effective tool set to build mental stability, purity, and awareness.
Great Buddha Monastery is renowned for its acceptance of all cultures and has been offering Mandarin and Thai language classes over the years, taught by monastery volunteers to promote the bodhisattva path of benefiting oneself and others.
