Meditation

"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black curious eyes of a child - our own two eyes. All is a miracle."   Thich Nhat Hanh

The purpose of meditation is just to see things as they actually are. We can use this very simple practice to begin to understand that we are a part of an endless tapestry of relationships, a tapestry that is constantly being woven and rewoven by all living beings. Through meditation we can begin to see that in a sense, we are this tapestry. You could say this is the beginning of insight.

Sessions are led by members of the Earth Sangha Buddhism Community. Practice derives from Korean Zen but we have adapted it to suit people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Please see www.earthsangha.org for more information on the Earth Sangha and our practice of engaged buddhism.
