ongoing - Meditation (mitra)

These events are organised by Bodhispace and Dharma Mati We are excited that our Bhutanese🇧🇹 friend (mitra) Polu Tulku is kindly hosting our meditations til the end of November. Polu has studied Buddhist Philosophy extensively and, in addition, has a strong meditation background. He is with us in Berlin for the next few weeks and months, and we are extremely excited to hang out, explore, and practice together.

Mitra literally means “friend”. Or we could say, “comrade”. Somebody who is on the path with us, whom we can rely on for support. Somebody we can hang out with.🎈

In our weekly meditations, we give a full introduction to the traditional Buddhist meditation techniques. We delve into the technique of Shamata meditation – calm abiding –  and try out multiple objects of meditation such as the breath, the aliveness of the body, visual objects, sound, smell, emotions/ feelings, and so on. We learn how to meditate with eyes closed and with eyes open. We also explore more free and non-conceptual meditation states related to the technique called Vipassana – analytical/ wisdom meditation – such as open awareness and authentic awareness. We serve tea, and there is lots of room to practice together and share our experiences.
