Group meets for meditation and discussion in the Alec Moore Room on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month between 10.30am and 12.30pm.

The meeting begins with a 30 minute period of sitting meditation which is preceded and concluded by some brief chanting. For those new to meditation there is the possibility of basic instruction. The group then usually reads a Buddhist publication which is discussed informally, or occasionally a tape by a Buddhist teacher is listened to and then discussed. Meetings may end with a further short period of meditation. No experience is necessary to attend meetings and anyone interested will be made welcome.  For more information contact Steve 01202 880661
