Venerable Radha conducts an intermediate/ advanced meditation class for approximately one hour. Venerable Radha continues the theme from Friday night about fostering good relationships, guiding a meditation in which we consider the breath as a good friend, noticing how it feels and caring for it, and so creating a comforting, safe space in the here and now. Venerable Radha then guides us to soothe and comfort the emotions of our heart.

Ajahn Brahm conducts an intermediate/ advanced meditation class for approximately one hour. Ajahn Brahm explains that all the different meditation methods, i.e. anapanasati (breath), vipasanna (insight) and metta (loving kindness) are about learning to let go of as much as you possibly can. When we let go, we feel light and peaceful, and that is when our meditation starts and continues to develop.
