Learn about Buddhism

Buddhism

Buddhism helps us to trans­form our exper­i­ence and become fully respons­ible for ourselves.

These courses teach the Buddha’s basic mes­sage, and the tools to live by it, includ­ing the three-fold path and two med­it­a­tion practices.

Teachers

Our courses are taught by ordained mem­bers of the Triratna Buddhist Order and by those train­ing for ordin­a­tion. They are well-trained and exper­i­enced prac­ti­tion­ers, who teach in a friendly, informal way and com­mu­nic­ate from their own experience.

What to bring?

You don’t need to bring any­thing apart from your­self or wear any­thing spe­cial, but you might want some socks to keep your feet warm as we take our shoes off in the med­it­a­tion halls.
