Open Meditation Mornings at Kagyu Ling give the opportunity to learn simple calm-abiding meditation in Manchester and are ideal for anyone new to meditation and Buddhism.

There are two sessions of calm-abiding meditation – from 10am to 11am and 12noon to 1pm. You will be given an explanation of how to settle the mind with this simple practice, and there will be a reflection on a Buddhist topic.
