Ashford Meditation Classes

Diamond Way - Buddhist Meditation In Kent

The friendly and dynamic Canterbury Diamond Way Buddhist group welcomes people for meditation twice a week in the Canterbury centre. There isn't currently an established Diamond Way group in the Ashford area but a programme of meditation classes will be put together when there is sufficient demand. In the meantime anyone from Ashford is invited to visit us in Canterbury for regular guided meditation with experienced teachers. If you'd like to keep in touch with the Canterbury Group and have details of one off events in your area please email us at canterbury@dwbuk.org and ask to be put on our mailing list.

Everyone is welcome but if possible let us know if you would like to attend for the first time.

The Buddha's teachings, which make beings fearless, joyful, and kind, are the main religion in several East Asian countries. Since the early seventies, the profound Buddhist view with its vast number of methods has inspired and fascinated a growing number of people in Western cultures.

Buddha teaches about ultimate and conditioned existence in a way that makes Buddhism directly relevant to our daily lives. Understanding this makes the experience of lasting happiness possible. Buddhism does not proclaim dogmas; rather, it encourages critical questioning. Using the right meditations, the intellectual understanding of the teachings becomes a personal experience. Additional methods solidify what is reached in meditation. The goal of Buddha's teachings is the full development of the innate potential of body, speech, and mind. Through his teachings, Buddha is seen as a timeless mirror of mind's inherent potential.

The Diamond Way offers the modern world "effective methods that lead to a direct experience of mind," as explained by Lopon Tsechu Rinpoche, one of the most experienced teachers of Tibetan Buddhism. One learns to experience the world from a rich and self-liberating viewpoint. Diamond Way meditations develop a deep inner richness and lead to a non-artificial and unwavering mind where every enlightened activity can unfold.
