WELCOME

Hello – welcome to the Bury St Edmunds Buddhist Group.

Our aim is to offer Buddhist tools and resources to help you with meditation and mindfulness. Everyone is welcome to our weekly meeting including those who have never meditated before. We meet every Wednesday at 7.15pm at the Quaker Friends meeting house opposite the Job Centre on St Andrew’s Street North.

We also hold regular chanting and puja evenings at our beautiful local retreat centre, Vajrasana. If you’re an outdoorsy type, you might enjoy coming along to one of our gardening days.

A CORONAVIRUS UPDATE:
In response to government instruction we have decided to suspend the Wednesday night Buddhist classes at the Friends’ Meeting House and any planned events at Vajrasana until further notice. You can find full details here. For now, we will deliver all our Wednesday nights talks online.
