Meditation Practices at Our Centre<\/h2>\n\n

Our centre offers Buddhist meditations, teachings & retreats, taught and led by the Reverend Greek monk Nyanadassana (Ioannis Tselios) and based upon the authentic instructions given by the Historical Buddha<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

All sessions<\/a> are currently provided online and are free of charge.<\/p>\n\n

The main meditation techniques that are taught in our centre are: Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation (\u0101n\u0101p\u0101nasati<\/a>), Meditation on Friendliness (mett\u0101<\/a>), as well as Insight Meditation (vipassan\u0101<\/a>) on applying memory to the body, the feelings and the mind.<\/p>\n\n

Mindfulness of Breathing<\/strong> Meditation<\/strong> helps concentrate the mind and allows us to be able to function better and more effectively, both in our everyday and in our spiritual life.<\/p>\n\n

Meditation on Friendliness<\/strong> helps us drive away our negative thoughts and feelings and replace them with positive ones, primarily about ourselves and then, consequently, about all living beings. Focusing on ourselves, without guilt or our ego getting in the way, is a necessary and sufficient condition for a happy life. It improves our personal relationships, as well as our relationship with the environment we live in. We become loved, trusted and compassionate individuals, ready to help others if asked, while maintaining our peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n

Insight Meditation<\/strong> includes exercises on memory, mindfulness and awareness which are used to observe and comprehend the transient nature of all intellectual and physical phenomena that can cause unhappiness if they linger.<\/p>\n\n

Finally, Insight Meditation helps us live without illusions, know the reality of our existence and detach ourselves from anything that brings unhappiness and suffering in our lives.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n
