I’m so happy I’ve finally done this because I have had the experience of the two dharma classes closest to where I live.
The Kadampa class had a discussion, guided meditation and tea & biscuits afterwards. The Zen class had zazen (‘sitting’, i.e. silent meditation) and a discussion but I had to leave early. It also clashes with another regular appointment.
Despite this, I feel I can make now make an informed decision as to which tradition/meditation techniques I want to continue with! If I do want to give Zen another try I will visit the third group (zen, but in someone’s private home). At the moment I prefer the atmosphere of the NKT group even though it is quite heavy on altar figurines. grin

more decisiveness required

I am still spending far too much time, ummm-ing and ahhh-ing without actually making any further investment decisions. I’ve made two good decisions, but there is more work needed. I have to make a list of principles and base my choices on them.
