Program Description:

These weekly, one-hour FREE meditation classes will be taught by monks from the Pittsburgh Buddhist Center. They are designed for beginners as a gradual training program in secular meditation practice. It covers how to find your seat, ways to maintain awareness with body movements, techniques for breath meditation and ways to face common challenges in meditation such as physical pains, drowsiness and distracting thoughts. Although the instructor is a Buddhist monk, the meditation techniques that will be taught are secular and are appropriate for all adults regardless of your other beliefs or religious affiliations.

No registration is required.

The monks from the Pittsburgh Buddhist Center have returned to teach in-person meditation classses at the library, but you also have the choice to watch the livestream at home on their YouTube channel. click here for the PBC Live Youtube Channel!
