The basic message of Buddhism is straightforward and practical: we can’t rely on anything to be fixed or permanent, our actions have consequences, we can change and grow into our limitless potential.  Friendship is central to our practice, and together we follow a path of ethics, meditation and wisdom.

We’re available to everyone, whether you see yourself as a Buddhist or are just interested in what Buddhism can offer your life.

Everything’s online for the time being

The Centre is closed to the public at the moment, and all in-person classes and activities are suspended. We hope to resume face-to-face activities when it is safe and in line with government restrictions. More about the closure and about our online events and classes. Please check Bodywise’s website to keep up to date with their changing arrangements for therapies, yoga and movement classes.

Challenging Times

We are committed to continuing to share our teachings and practices during this challenging and changeable period. Please check back here frequently and join our mailing list from the button below to stay up to date with all our news and events.

Manchester Buddhist Centre is a registered charity (registration number 514937), run by a small team of paid members of our Buddhist community, or Sangha, along with many volunteers.

We want to offer as much as we can freely online for as long as can. These are very difficult times for us though, and being closed means we have lost much of our income: we need your help! So, if you value our Centre and community, please think about what you can give, either as a one-off or, even better, a monthly donation. Just press the button below to help us to continue our work. Thank you!
