Having met for over 30 years our focus is on continuing to meet together regularly. In recent years our activities have included lay retreats and lay study meetings. We also write articles about Buddhism.
Buddhist Monks Visits
We are also delighted to receive visits and teachings from Buddhist Monks. In recent years most of these have been from Ketumati Buddhist Vihara [Monastery] Manchester.
