The classes are organised as short courses, usually around 3 or 4 weeks long and last just over an hour.  You can attend the whole course or simply drop in whenever you can as each class is self-contained

You don’t need to bring anything with you and don’t need any previous experience of meditations or the class subjects.  We sit on chairs for the class and meditations in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere; so all you need to do is turn up and enjoy.

We start all classes with the Liberating Prayer and a short guided breathing meditation to take ourselves away from the ordinary.  You can join in or just listen to the prayer, it’s up to you.

We’ll then have some practical Buddhist teachings followed by a guided meditation based upon them; and finish with some advice on how to put the teachings into practise in daily life

If you have any questions, please get in touch via info@heartjewel.org.uk and we’ll be delighted to help

“These practices are called ‘immeasurables’ because we practise them taking as our observed object all living beings whose number is immeasurable.  When we practise immeasurable equanimity we develop the wish for all living beings to gain the realisation of equanimity, and we actively dedicate ourself to help them do this.  When we practise immeasurable love and immeasurable compassion we develop the wish for others to experience only happiness and freedom from suffering, and we actively dedicate ourself to make this happen.  When we practise immeasurable joy we develop the wish that others should never lose the enjoyments and happiness that they experience in the fortunate states of humans and gods, or the supreme joy of liberation, and we actively dedicate ourself to prevent them ever being separated from temporary or ultimate happiness.”
