Festas de Natal
Sessões de Meditação
Sharing the spirit of the festive season, the Buddhist Union of Portugal will be holding two meditation sessions at this year’s Natal em Lisboa.
Saturday’s session will focus on “Shamata” (or mental calmness) meditation, where some simple techniques will be taught for increasing inner peace and awareness of our everyday life and the world which surrounds us.
On Sunday, there’ll be a session on “Metta” meditation, focussing on developing a loving and kind mental attitude. It will aim to actively cultivate positive emotional states, helping us to become more patient, kind, receptive and compassionate.
Please note that participants must bring a towel and comfortable clothes and footwear.
