Setting Up Your Meditation Practice

As meditation is at the heart of the transformative path of Buddhism, we encourage you to set up a daily practice. You can start by designating a spot in your home for this. If you are travelling a lot, carry with you some shrine objects to establish a meditation space wherever you are. If you find it helpful, you can also offer incense or a small flower to your shrine as a gesture of devotion to the Path.

We further recommend you have a set time and length of time to meditate each day and keep to that schedule if possible.

Please assess the time that works for your lifestyle. We recommend starting with 20 minutes in the morning and evening. If you can do up to 45 minutes, or longer, this is also good. However, the important thing is to make the length of time realistic so it can be sustainable.

It's also very helpful to set a timer for this period.
