The Manchester Centre for Buddhist Meditation |
|
Samatha
meditation was first taught in Manchester in the early seventies as part
of the activities of Manchester University Buddhist Society. As numbers
grew the need arose for a permanent home, and we moved into this building
in 1977. It was originally a Wesleyan Methodist Church. The Centre is
now owned by the Samatha Trust, a registered charity.
For those who have completed the full introductory meditation course there are, from time to time, study groups to investigate aspects of Buddhist teaching or other relevant traditions. Regular events at the Centre include a Puja -an hour of chanting and offerings - on the second Sunday of each month at 11.00 a.m and often a meeting on the day of the full moon. Other occasional events include days of meditation practice, and days which combine practical work on the building with periods of meditation and some study of theory. Sometimes monks and nuns may visit the Centre or stay for a few days. |
