Description

Join This Group

 

We are a warm, sincere group of people who meet each week to practice Buddhist meditation, mindful movement (the eight form movements), and to study the teachings of great Buddhist practitioners, both ancient and contemporary. 

We generally centre our practice around the Chan tradition (a Chinese tradition that is the original Zen school), which has an emphasis on directly realising the free, unobscured nature of ourselves and the rest of reality, and on cultivating wisdom and compassion which naturally benefits ourselves and all other beings. We are, however, entirely non-sectarian, with members who mainly study and practice under many other traditions such as Tibetan, Tai, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Indian forms of Buddhism.

We welcome with open arms people of all religious beliefs, political beliefs, cultural backgrounds, ages, gender expressions, sexualities, and levels of experience. You don't have to identify as a committed 'Buddhist', many of us don't, and if you have even a slight interest in Buddhism, meditation, or spirituality more broadly, you may benefit from coming along. Whether you come along once and never again, or every week, we're delighted and grateful to have you!
