Join an accessible introduction to meditation and Buddhist philosophy taught in English at Buddhistisches Tor Berlin. This 6-week course offers a gentle entry point into mindfulness practice and Buddhist teachings, designed for complete beginners with no prior experience necessary.

Each session explores foundational concepts: the nature of the mind, how meditation works, and core Buddhist principles. You'll learn practical meditation techniques you can use daily, discover how Buddhist thought addresses modern life challenges, and experience a supportive community of fellow practitioners.

The course balances instruction with hands-on practice. Expect clear teachings followed by guided meditation, creating a warm, welcoming environment where questions are encouraged and the pace is relaxed. Whether you're curious about Buddhism, seeking a meditation practice, or interested in personal development, this course meets you where you are.

Classes run weekly and build progressively, but each session stands alone if you need to miss a week. The sangha (community) aspect is central to the experience—you're not practicing alone.
