Buddhism Course

Lee82

I've found a course that really interests me and is given by a local buddhist centre. Details of the course are here on their website:

The course is at level 1 and the website also suggests they have level 2 and 3 courses and also yoga courses which are of interest to me. My only problem is being able to commit to a regular time each week. I have two kids and most of the time they are with me (4-5 nights a week) and my ex-wife works shifts and I have to work around whatever she's doing which changes from week to week. I would really like to do this course but I know I would only be able to make half the sessions if that :-(

What to do...

Oh, there also appears to be some really good course notes that can be downloaded for free for the level 1 and 2 courses, introduction to meditation course and a kindness course:

Hi Lee,

Are you ever free on Saturdays at all? Manchester Buddhist Centre runs an introductory drop-in session on Buddhism and meditation, 11 am to 1 pm every Saturday. No need to book, come when you can.

@diamond I saw that course thanks but it is at a time when I am with the kids every week without fail. I could ask someone to watch them one week but not ready to tell anyone what I'm up to yet! Shame there aren't other drop in sessions like in the evenings.

There's quite a lot of other Buddhist groups in the Manchester area - see here:
