Quiet places for meditation downtown

Submitted by Metta on Nov 17, 2008 - 6:21pm

Hi - Great work on the new website and thanks for adding these forums and blogs!

I work downtown (around the Eaton Centre) and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for places to meditate during lunch hour. I already have a meditation community and practice so I'm not really looking for something to join, but just a quiet place indoors where I can meditate comfortably for an hour at lunch and not feel self-conscious about it.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Metta

How did you choose your meditation path?

Submitted by Hanme on Dec 2, 2008 - 11:25pm

Hi All,

I was wondering how other people came to settle upon a certain style or tradition of meditation? I practised zen for many years but more recently I have been practicing "lovingkindness" meditations.

Were you drawn to a particular tradition or style, or did you explore before deciding to dedicate yourself to a practice?

About Tibetan Bon

Submitted by ZaMongyal on Apr 17, 2010 - 11:52am

Bön, the indigenous faith of the Tibetan and Himalayan people, is relatively unknown among the religions of the world. Lord Tönpa Shenrab is the founder of the Bön religion. Tönpa Shenrab's teachings are collectively known as Yungdrung Bön or the Tradition of Eternal Wisdom, and include the Nine Ways of Bön that outline the laws of cause and effect on the path of spiritual liberation.

Greetings, I'm looking for a Sangha.

Hello,

I've recently relocated to Toronto from a small town, and just found this website a couple weeks ago. I loved the info at my fingertips about Toronto's meditation groups. I really like the new design of the website, and I'm looking forward to seeing the content fill up. I'm also looking forward to reading some blogs.

Emergency Room Meditation

Submitted by LauraPratt33 on Mar 5, 2009 - 11:18am

So I'm sitting in a hospital waiting room yesterday, stroking my son's sallow cheeks, fuming over all manner of bureaucratic inefficiencies, raging against the particular tumbling of events that has brought us to this place, when I notice a man beside me in a pool of serenity.

Why Meditate with Your Dog?

Meditation is extremely beneficial to you AND your dog.

As dog lovers, we value that special connection we have with our pet. Meditation is a fantastic way to solidify that unique bond between you and your dog by bringing you closer on a very different level. And it's good for you too!!
