Open Day

Saturday 6 September, 11.00am - 4.00pm

Come and explore the Buddhist Centre, meet some real live Buddhists,
try out a meditation or yoga taster session, sample alternative therapy taster sessions with practitioners from The Healing Rooms, browse the shop, test-drive some meditation kit, drink tea and find out what's on offer.... All welcome.  No charge, but donations appreciated.

 

We run classes, courses and retreats in Buddhism, Buddhist meditation and yoga and have been teaching in Bristol for more than 20 years. We have been at our current Centre on Gloucester Rd since 1997. We are part of the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO), a modern Buddhist movement dedicated to making the traditional teachings of Buddhism relevant to people living in the modern world.

You can find out here about our meditation classes and courses, about Buddhism, about the FWBO and its founder Sangharakshita as well as other events and activities around the Centre.

You can see in our Calendar of Events when things are happening and you can contact us and find out where we are. You can also explore links to other Buddhist websites.
