Frequently Asked Questions: Buddhism

Over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha was the first person to gain enlightenment and to teach what we now call Buddhism. The Buddhist path of ethics, meditation and wisdom helps us realise untapped potential. To find out more you can find suitable books here.

We offer introductory courses in Meditation and Buddhism; see our Buddhism page for details.

Sangha Night is a weekly class every Tuesday that explores how Buddhism can be applied to your life.

All our meditation and Buddhism classes are freely given, with the financing of the Centre based on “dana” (generosity). Our aim is to inspire a culture of generosity in the way we share Buddhist teachings. We teach Buddhism and meditation because we believe in its benefit to the world, not because we need to generate funds.

We rely on the generosity of visitors and supporters to keep the Centre and its activities alive and available. We warmly invite you to participate in this radical venture with an act of generosity. We would be grateful for any donation you can make, which you can do HERE or by cash or cheque using one of the donation boxes in the Centre, where you can also fill in a Gift Aid form if you are a UK taxpayer.

Our Yoga, Tai Chi or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction have both a full rate and a concessionary rate. Please pay whichever rate you can.
