Celebrating the Buddha’s Teaching

Each year we celebrate that the Buddha was moved to communicate his wisdom and compassion to us through his teachings – the Dharma – which have been handed down to us through the ages. These teachings continue to transform our own lives and help create a better world. We too can become wiser and more compassionate human beings, just like the Buddha.

Join us as we come together in large numbers to mark and celebrate the Dharma jewel in our lives, in one of the main festivals of the Buddhist year. Programme to follow and timings may change. In fast-changing times, it's hard to be completely certain whether our events will go ahead in person, online or as a hybrid of both. Please come back and check, or stay up to date through social media or by joining our mailing list.

Who is the Event for?

It's suitable for anyone with experience of our two meditation practices, Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana, and open to Buddhist ritual. Please get in touch if you're not sure.
