A Buddhist monk is to set to bring peace and tranquillity to Kidderminster with a four-week course of classes in meditation.

Kelsang Lobon, from Derby, will be giving talks on meditation and the opportunity to find happiness in a rented room at Kidderminster College from Wednesday at 7.30pm.

Sharon Taylor-Haines, a fund-raiser at the Jangchub Ling Residential Centre in Dudley, where Mr Lobon will be based later this year, said: "Anyone can come along. He'll give a simple meditation session followed by a talk about how it can help people in their everyday lives."

More information on the classes can be obtained by calling 07762 414333.
