Taking your Buddhism practice further

Explor­ing Buddhism further

The basic ten­ets of Buddhist teach­ing are straight­for­ward and prac­tical: noth­ing is fixed or per­man­ent; actions have con­sequences; change is possible

We have courses and events to help you take your explor­a­tion of Buddhism further

Going fur­ther with Buddhism — six week course

Learn more about the Buddha’s teach­ings and Buddhist meditation

Buddhism level three — six week course

This more advanced course is suit­able for people who have atten­ded a Buddhism level 2 course or day event

The course will run over six weeks

If you have com­pleted a Buddhism level one and two course and are unsure about what class to take next, con­tact Chandana on Chandana@manchesterbuddhistcentre.org.uk

Study the Dharma

After you have atten­ded a Buddhism level 2 course, deep­en­ing your prac­tice through study­ing in a small group may be right for you.

Dharma is a word that means not only the truth the Buddha real­ised through his awaken­ing, but also his teach­ings which lead to this truth.

Found­a­tion Study Course

This weekly ongo­ing course aims to give a thor­ough ground­ing in Dharma study and is for those who have a desire to put Buddhist teach­ings into prac­tice in their life.

These groups are pop­u­lar and often there is a wait­ing list. Phone our recep­tion for fur­ther details.
