School & Group Visits
We welcome visits from schools and other groups in the community to Kadampa Meditation Centre Brisbane. Visiting our meditation centre gives your students the chance to experience what Buddhism and meditation mean firsthand. They can see our beautiful shrine with different Buddhas and offerings, meet a Buddhist teacher, hear a talk on Buddhism and meditation, and try meditating in our serene meditation room.
What to expect for your visit
Visits normally last for one hour and include:
- A talk from a practicing Buddhist
- A chance to ask questions
- An opportunity to try meditation
A talk from a practicing Buddhist ~ This can be tailored to suit your students’ learning needs, but typically includes the story of the life of Buddha, information on how Buddhists live and work today and an explanation of the essence of Buddha’s teachings.
A chance to ask questions ~ As every group is different, we leave ample time for questions, so that the students have the chance to find out about the things which really interest them.
An opportunity to try meditation ~ Meditation can have a beneficial effect on all aspects of a student’s life. We will explain a simple meditation and give them the opportunity to try this.
Prices
We ask that a donation of $8 is made for each student who visits. If you are interested in visiting our centre, please email us at education@meditateinbrisbane.org
