Manchester Buddhist Centre

There’s some great new stock in the shop and more on its way

We now have a much lar­ger selec­tion of CDs — spoken word, led med­it­a­tions, music and chants. Pema Chodron, Jack Kornfield, Thich Nhat Hanh and our own Vidyamala and Sona are among the voices.

2011 Calendars and diar­ies are com­ing in now, along with a lovely range of greet­ings cards, and if you are look­ing for a calm­ing med­it­at­ive activ­ity, how about a Tara col­our­ing book or a jig­saw puzzle of the wheel of life?

New books

There are plenty of new books too, from intro­duct­ory to spe­cial­ist. Vajragupta’s Triratna Story is still prov­ing pop­u­lar at £7.99, and if you are inter­ested in know­ing more about Buddhist ritual why not get your own beau­ti­fully illus­trated Puja book?

Nearly new books

We’ve had a bit of a change around on the second hand shelves, and now have a shelf of gen­eral children’s books, some new (or new to us any­way) mind, body and spirit titles, and some inter­est­ing poetry

As nights draw in …

Also just in is a new con­sign­ment of med­it­a­tion shawls, includ­ing some very warm ones in jewel col­ours, dir­ect from Nepal. Some are made of 100% yak wool, which is far more soft and cosy than it sounds. We have two new ethically-sourcing sup­pli­ers now, so expect even more vari­ety in the future.

Supporting the Centre
