Meditation has countless benefits—whether you're yearning for a bit of peace, or you want to learn to be more present—but sitting still and in silence is a lot harder than it sounds. Below are five places in Hong Kong that offer guided meditation classes to get you started on your path to balance, bliss and mindfulness:

1. Kadampa Meditation Centre

Kadampa, a peaceful hideaway in Causeway Bay, offers guided meditation sessions every Tuesday evening. They are free, but a donation is encouraged.

If you want to go a little deeper, the centre also offers weekend courses, meditation retreats, empowerments and regular chanted prayers, and special events with senior guest teachers.

While Kadampa teaches Buddhist teachings and philosophy, all—including non-buddhists—are welcome.
