Well it's quite possible you've whizzed passed me on the V-Line, while I've stood there like a sucker on the freezing platform, waiting for the Metro train to pull in.

Re: Hello there
Greetings,
If I meditate, I meditate solo... but to be honest, the closest I get to formal meditation nowadays is Bikram Yoga - and there is one of those in Werribee!
Otherwise, it's just a matter of watching the qualitative nature of the body, mind and thoughts, satipatthana-style... right effort, noble eightfold path etc.

No, there's not much in the way of Theravada organisations (or any Buddhist institutions for that matter) anywhere near Werribee - are you aware of anything on the Geelong side of Lara?Bunks wrote:Do you have any regular meditation group you sit with in the western suburbs retrofuturist?

No - nothing in the Theravada tradition - there is a Tibetan monastery south of Geelong but that's about it...retrofuturist wrote:Greetings,
