This is a three-week course on Thursday evenings, and is an opportunity for those interested in meditation to receive instructions and gain more familiarity with Shinay/Shamatha meditation, which is done regularly at Samye Dzong. An untamed mind is compared to a wild elephant being led by a crazy, wild monkey of distraction. The untamed mind can do a lot of damage, as we can easily observe in daily life. Lama Zangmo will explain the benefits and the common difficulties encountered in meditation, and how to deal with them. Sometimes being reminded of small things can make a big difference, and be helpful in gaining more understanding of how to train the mind.

There will be time for meditation and Q&A.

This course is suitable for both Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
