Manchester Buddhist Centre

Med­it­a­tion

In med­it­at­ing we aim to bring ourselves into the present moment and con­cen­trate on the object of med­it­a­tion, for example the breath.

We can med­it­ate in a chair, lying down or seated on cush­ions — it is import­ant to be comfortable.

Over time med­it­a­tion can bring about a gentle but rad­ical transformation.
