  Can anyone here recommend a place where one can learn and practice meditation?

  Was hoping it can help with the stresses in life. I am not really a very devoted buddhist but I think learning to meditate will be a good start..

  Yeah, I also think it is expensive but I guess it is because the centre has to pay rental.

  If you are not in a hurry, you may always go to the below website to check out for meditation course. Bright Hill Temple used to have meditation course a few times within a year and the fee is about $20 for about 10 lessons. Look out at the left hand corner of the website, a small box which keeps flashing the different courses it has.
