I have no experience with Buddhism or meditation. Can I attend an Introduction to Buddhism course?

Yes. As long as you are prepared to commit to the discipline of being on a course here (ie. being in silence for 10 days, not using any communication or entertainment devices, not leaving the property for the duration of the course – see more info here), there are no pre-requisites to attend our Introductory courses.

Most students who attend these courses have had little or no contact with Buddhist philosophy/meditation and our Introduction to Buddhism courses are designed with beginners in mind.

However, many students with previous experience also find it very beneficial to join our introductory courses in order to review and contemplate more deeply the essential points of the path.
