What's On
The Venerable Bhatsakorn Piyobhaso, a resident Thai monk in Bristol, leads regular meditation sessions on Wednesday evenings at the Multifaith Chaplaincy Centre, 1 Woodland Road, Bristol. (He also conducts Dhamma talks for members of the Thai community--see Thai pages for more details.)
Timetable
The evening sessions start every Wednesday at 7pm and finish by 9pm and are divided into two parts:
The first part of the evening takes the form of a brief talk on a specific aspect of the Dhamma (Buddhist philosophy and scriptures) and the practical usefulness of meditation to daily life.
The second part of the evening is devoted to sitting and walking
meditation. The evening ends with a questions and answers session.
The evening sessions are open to everyone and are suitable both for those who want to find out more about classical Buddhism and Buddhist meditation and those who are purely interested in learning how to meditate and the role of meditation in daily life. The talks will include regular discussions on the cornerstones of Theravada Buddhism, namely, the Triple Gem, the Four Noble Truths and the Middle Way. There is no charge to attend the evening sessions and no booking is required.
Practical Considerations
The Wednesday evening session starts promptly at 7pm so it is advisable to try to arrive a little earlier. Meditation cushions will be supplied for all those meditating. You are, of course, welcome to bring your own cushion, bench etc. Also, could you please remember to remove your shoes on entering the meditation room(s).
