    Thu 4th: The way things really are

    Buddha said that all phenomena are mere appearances to mind, totally dependent on the minds that perceive them. Their ultimate nature is emptiness. How can we understand this, and what does it mean for us?

    Thu 11th: The emptiness of our body

    When we become familiar with meditation on the emptiness of the body, our grasping at our body will be reduced, we will experience far less suffering, anxiety and frustration in relation to our body, our physical tension will diminish and our health will improve.

    Thu 18th: Mind is the nature of emptiness

    By contemplating, ‘All phenomena that appear to my mind are the nature of my mind. My mind is the nature of emptiness,’ we will eventually gain an undefiled wisdom that directly realises the emptiness of all phenomena.

    Thu 25th: How to stop grasping at I

    The object we grasp at most strongly is our self or I. By understanding and meditating on the emptiness of our I, this grasping will reduce and eventually cease altogether. Then we will be permanently free from all suffering.

    Thu 2nd Oct: Freedom from extremes

    Learn eight special meditations that help us to reduce and eventually eradicate eight different aspects of our self-grasping.

The Teacher for the Bewdley class

The Bewdley ‘Meditation & Daily Life’ class is led by our resident teacher, Gen Kelsang Khechog.

Known for his thoughtful nature, Gen Khechog presents Buddha’s teachings with relatable clarity, showing how to connect these beautiful meditations with the realities of modern daily life.
