Manchester Buddhist Centre

A Buddhist ritual devoted to the bod­hisat­tva Vajrasattva, who rep­res­ents pur­ity. We’re also going to be doing this puja in the memory of Glenn Millar who recently died

In gath­er­ing together on the full moon each month, we are join­ing Buddhists across the world in a tra­di­tion that goes back to the time of the his­tor­ical Buddha.

The ritual will be led in call and response with chant­ing and verses, prac­tised to develop our spir­itual emo­tions to match our spir­itual understanding.

If you have atten­ded an intro­duct­ory Buddhism course but are new to puja, you will be made very wel­come. There is no pres­sure to join in — it is fine just to watch.

This full moon puja takes place early on a Saturday even­ing, when the Centre would not usu­ally be open, but we will be there to open the door from 5.30 pm. Please be sure to arrive a few minutes before the puja starts as there will be no-one down­stairs to let you in after 5.45 pm
