Modern Buddhism offers practical inner solutions to everyday problems of modern life. It is perfectly suited to busy lives whether at work, at home, in education or during periods of ill health or unemployment.
With basic essential instructions everyone can learn to calm their minds, find some mental peace and deal with the stresses and tension of modern life. We can build inner confidence and grow our own good qualities.
Our in-depth study programmes offer an opportunity to deepen and stabilise our meditation experience. Weekly classes consist of a unique blend of explanation, meditation and discussion. We gain a special familiarity with key Buddhist ideas and practice.
Retreats are an opportunity to let go of all our daily concerns and worries and allow ourselves to go deeper into a peaceful inner world. Retreats range from half day mini mind-breaks to sessions spread out over several days.
Chanted Prayers are meditations set to melodies which we can chant or just listen to. They are an occasion to come together and experience our collective desire for peace, wisdom and compassion in ourselves and in the world.
