This six-week online course will provide instruction in the fundamentals of breath meditation. Mindfulness of breathing is the form of meditation the Buddha most often encouraged his students to practice.  Through the practice, we’re able to develop concentration & insight, and live with greater wisdom & an open heart.  In the course, we’ll learn to develop the practices of sitting meditation, walking meditation, and mindfulness in daily life.  Each class will include time for meditation, teaching, discussion, and asking questions. The course is suitable for students with no previous experience, as well as experienced meditators who wish to strengthen their practice.

About Berlin Dharma
​
Berlin Dharma offers programs in insight meditation. Our programs are English-speaking. 

The heart of insight meditation is the practice of mindfulness, as explicated in the Buddha’s teaching on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. Through the practice of mindfulness we learn to cultivate skillful qualities, concentration and discernment.

The insight meditation teachings come from the Theravada tradition. Theravada practice is derived from the core teachings of the Buddha, as found in the Pali Canon, the earliest surviving record of what the Buddha taught. 

It's important to remember that while insight meditation comes from the teachings of the Buddha, the practice is open to all students. One does not have to identify as Buddhist. And, in fact, over the years many students from many different religious and spiritual backgrounds have attended the insight meditation classes and been part of the community of practitioners. All are welcome!

Berlin Dharma was founded in 2018 by Peter Doobinin. In addition to Berlin Dharma, Peter is a founder of New York Insight, Downtown Meditation Community, and The Dharma Student Project.  Although no longer a permanent resident of Berlin, he hopes to continue to visit Germany and teach dharma classes and retreats. He is the author of Skillful Pleasure and The Skill of Living.
