Local Groups - Bristol
Wednesday evenings from 7.45 - 9.15pm
The Relaxation Centre
9 All Saints Road, Bristol, BS8 2JG
The summer term begins on September 5th and will run until December 19th.
We will start the term as always with an emphasis on formless meditation. Beginners and new members of the group are very welcome - we are happy to introduce anyone new to the basics of formless meditation.
From September 26th there will be a series of talks on the topic of 'Core Buddhist Teachings and the view of Mahayana MahaAti'. This will introduce basic Buddhist teachings with discussion of how the view of immediacy and the essence of formless meditation applies in that context. All are welcome

General introduction to the Bristol Group
We have been meeting here since 2000 and have classes ongoing throughout the year - with brief breaks over Christmas, Easter and Summer. Classes are run by Steve Hinde and Tim Malnick.
We vary the structure of classes a little. The first few weeks of each new term tend to emphasise longer periods of meditation (up to an hour) with less talks and discussion. We then move to half and hour meditation periods with time for a talk and discussion. Each term we offer a series of talks covering a Path of Freedom topic.
Beginners and experienced meditators are both welcome. You can come along to any Wednesday night class - people coming for the first time are welcome to have a one to one introductory chat where we can talk more about Longchen, the Bristol programme and the basic meditation. We are also happy to have one to one meditation interviews periodically as part of the session, for those who would like one.
