Our Programmes

Free Drop-in Meditation

Guided meditation sessions are held online and in-person (hybrid mode) once a week on Saturdays. Anyone can attend from any part of the world. The sessions are offered for free.

Study Programme

This is a study course on Buddhist psychology and philosophy with teaching, commentary and guided meditation. Members are required to read, reflect and take part in group discussions.

Experience Sharing Session

A monthly online session where Study Programme members share their experiences of connecting with the teachings. Regular attendees of the Drop-in Meditation sessions can join too.

Meditation Retreat

Retreats, ranging from a few days to 10 days, are held throughout the year, in Kolkata or at a faraway site. Retreats are essential in deepening our experience of meditation.

Prayers

Group prayers are held regularly in hybrid mode — at our meditation centre in Kolkata and online. These are open to all and offered for free.

General Programmes
