Reading Buddhist Priory

These new events will take place once a month on Saturday between 10.00am and 12.00 midday. (Please see the calendar for dates) They are aimed at those who have been to an Introductory evening and would like to know more. We will address different aspects of practice for those who are new to our tradition. Anyone can join in any session. As usual there is no set charge and donations are invited.

The format may vary but will include a class with tea and discussion / questions, a meditation period and flexibility for anything else which might be helpful.

Though aimed at newcomers, if you are experienced and would like to come, you are welcome, especially if the topic is one which you have found to be fruitful training and you can relate this to those who may be completely new to practice.

The first session will be on meditation in activity. How does our time sitting in meditation help us with our daily life and activities?

Other topics will include the Precepts, setting up a practice at home, Reading the Scriptures, the three Refuges, introduction to Morning service and Midday service, going on retreat. Suggestions for other topics are welcome and could arise to meet the needs and interests of those who come.

We look forward to seeing you and welcome feedback to help make these sessions of help to you.
