Meditation and Modern Buddhism

Meditation isn’t just about posture and technique. We need to be able to focus our mind on something. We call that something the object of meditation. What are appropriate objects of meditation? In this series, we will look at some of the most meaningful meditations that Buddha taught.

Even if you have never meditated before, you can learn how to apply these meditations to your daily life in a very quick and powerful way.

Every class includes meditations, teachings, and the opportunity to ask questions. The classes will be available for 3 days after the original broadcast.

Everyone welcome, regardless of background or experience.

We have designed a special structure for our Thursday Meditation Classes. You can drop in for any class, you don’t need to attend the entire series. These classes are structured as a series of 6 brief topics. Attending the whole series will let you understand an aspect of meditation. We offer an  ongoing sequence of 4 different meditation class series which will give you a detailed overview of every aspect of meditation. You do not need to attend the sequence of classes in order. The 4 series are: Introduction to Buddhist Meditation, Foundations of a Strong Meditation Practice, Meditation and Mindfulness, & How to Practice Buddhist Meditation. Check our online calendar for more information about these classes.

For people with a special interest in learning to meditate, we have developed a special meditation program. This retreat is part of the special meditation program that we have at KMC Houston. The program is designed to help people improve and enjoy meditation practice. As part of this program we are offering four unique online urban meditation retreats. The retreats are approximately every six weeks (September 19, October 31, December 27, and February 13).
