"Hello, everybody welcome"

Welcome to Amitabha Centre based in Bristol - an active and flourishing Buddhist community.

Everyone is welcome to attend the meditation classes and benefit from the techniques taught at them. These teachings are of value to everyone because we all need inner peace and the happiness it brings. The classes cover all aspects of Buddhist thought and meditation and are held in Bristol and throughout the southwest region. Whether you're new to Buddhism or an experienced Buddhist meditator you are welcome to learn more.

 

                 Meditation helps you: meditating in a chair

  • Find inner peace, real happiness and contentment for yourself . . . . . . and the ability to share it with others
  • Cope with the pressures and stresses of work and modern life
  • Develop mental clarity, concentration, and focus
  • Relate to others in a calm, caring, and constructive manner
  • Understand why meditators are so happy

Within these meditation practices you can find simple relaxation techniques and profound methods to attain uncontaminated, everlasting bliss. Kadampa Buddhism has the entire inner path to the supreme inner peace of a Buddha's enlightenment.
