Introduction to meditation in English
Posted in Meditation on 12/22/2008 05:18 pm by adminWelcome to this site!
This is the English version of the website of the FWBO in Poland and of our Buddhist centre in Krakow - Sanghaloka.
Whether you are passing through Krakow with a backpack or living here permanently you may be surprised to come accross a Buddhist centre in Krakow teaching meditation in English. You may have been curious about meditation or Buddhism for a while and may even have thought Thailand was the place to learn it or perhaps London, but Poland and Krakow of all places?
However it is a fact - we run introductions to Buddhist meditation every Monday from 7-9pm at Sanghaloka Buddhist centre in Kazimierz in Krakow - this autumn 2009 is our second year in Krakow.
These evenings are usually led by Sassirika. Sassirika was ordained into the Western Buddhist Order in 2006 and she is an experienced meditator. She was born in the UK and moved to Poland in 2008.
We teach two basic meditation practices dating back to the time of the Buddha - the mindfulness of breathing and the metta bhavana (development of strong positive emotions towards oneself and others/all beings). More information about these practices on www.fwbo.org/meditation.html and http://www.wildmind.org/
We ask for a contribution towards our costs: 7zł.
Soon there will be more information on this website in English. In the meantime if you want to ask anything please feel free to email us on: kontakt@buddyzm.info.pl
If you would like to learn to meditate or talk to us but can’t make Monday evenings drop us an email - we are happy to arrange another time to meet.
More information about Buddhism and our movement worldwide can be found on on fwbo.org and on the FWBO news
