Weekly Buddhist Meditation Classes

The meditation classes in Burnley teach you how to gain an experience of inner peace through 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.

The classes include guided meditations and a talk explaining how to practise and apply meditation. They are self-contained, so you can attend individual classes. Please see below for full details.

Everyone is welcome.
