Keighley Buddhist Meditation Classes

The meditation classes in Keighley teach how to gain an experience of inner peace though meditation. They are a great way to learn to meditate, to improve your meditation practice, or to learn new meditation techniques. Through meditation we can learn to relax, let go of our daily concerns and develop a fresh and positive outlook.

Kelsang Paljin

The evening classes in Keighley are taught by Gen Kelsang Päljin the Resident Teacher of Buddha Land Buddhist Centre, Keighley. Kelsang Päljin is a Buddhist monk with many years experience of practising and teaching Kadampa Buddhism. He is able to explain clearly and simply how we can apply meditation in our daily lives and so experience deep and lasting happiness.

Everyone is welcome. Both the Thursday day and evening classes last one and a half hours and include guided meditations, a talk explaining how to practice and apply meditation and group discussion. These classes are self contained, so you can attend individual classes.

In addition to the Thursday classes there are the lunch time meditations on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays which are shorter in duration. They include a guided meditation and explanation of how to practice meditation. These classes are taught by experienced students of the centre. There is also Prayers for World Peace, a free meditatin class on a Saturday.
