What kind of meditation is practiced at Tushita?

There are various types of meditation in Tibetan Buddhism, and we practice a few of them in our introductory courses.

During all our courses, the 6:45am morning session is generally a mindfulness/shamatha meditation, intended to develop a foundation of quietude and concentration for the rest of the day (focusing on the breath for example) while in the other sessions the students are guided in doing analytical meditations on the topics covered in the previous classes. These could involve visualisation techniques, or the use of mantra recitation as an alternative object of attention. You can read more about Meditation practices at Tushita on a PDF located here.

The daily drop-in meditations could be either of the above. All meditations are led by the teacher or experienced Buddhist practitioners.
