Looking at the Theme of Work

We spend so much time working, so how do we make sure it’s supporting our growth, as well as helping others? How can we engage in Buddhist teams, which can give us a sense of what’s possible when we truly work together?

Regular Celebration and Community

Sangha Sunday is a gathering for our community on the second Sunday of every month. It’s a chance to come together in larger numbers to meditate as a Sangha, take part in ritual and spend time connecting with one another. When a festival day falls in a month, it’s celebrated as part of Sangha Sunday.

More details and a programme will follow nearer the time. It's always safest to check the website before setting off in case the details have changed.


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. If Buddhist ritual is unfamiliar to you, it's fine to just watch.


More Information

• More about Buddhist festivals and ritual
• Arrive from 10 am to meet, relax, settle in with a drink, then it’s a prompt 10.30 start
• Please bring vegan food to share for lunch if you can. It doesn't need to be elaborate - you could pick something up on your way in from one of the nearby shops and takeaways Sharron and friends are also doing about thirty baked potatoes, so feel free to bring fillings to share. Cake and biscuits too!
• The Lotus Hall and library are available as quiet spaces during breaks, if you want a bit of time and space to absorb and relax away from lots of people


Health Issues

If there are any health issues, physical, emotional or mental, that could affect your participation in a course or event, please contact the Buddhist Centre at info@manchesterbuddhistcentre.org.uk, and ask to talk confidentially to one of our Order members, before deciding whether to attend.

Can you help?

We usually need friendly Sangha members to help make this sort of event run smoothly. Much of the work is done before and after, so you'd still be able to join in with everyone else. Please contact us on vols@manchesterbuddhistcentre.org.uk if you are interested in helping out. Thank you!


Supporting the Buddhist Centre

There is no charge to attend but we deeply appreciate donations. You can make regular or one-off online donations here; contactless card donations on our donation station at reception; or leave cash in the box by the till. Thank you, and do please get in touch with any queries.
