Amitabha Buddhist Centre
Amitabha Buddhist Centre is the regional college
for Buddhist study, meditation and retreat for the South West of
England around Bristol. The Centre is a member of the New Kadampa
Tradition - The International Kadampa Buddhist Union.
As well as the resident ordained and lay Buddhist
practitioners, our wider community includes families, and
many others
wanting to enjoy a peaceful and meaningful way of life through
understanding
and practising Buddha's teachings.
We aim to provide an environment in which anyone
can come and discover for themselves the techniques of meditation,
and the peaceful Buddhist way of life. We run a range of study
programmes,
from simple introductory classes on how to meditate, to a 12 year
Teacher Training Programme. The New Kadampa Tradition is unique
among western Buddhist Traditions in being able to offer such a
comprehensive presentation of all Buddha's teachings. We also hold
a variety of retreats throughout
the year.
We also engage in a variety of pujas or
chanted meditations. Some are on a daily basis, some weekly some
monthly and some annually.

The Centre can occasionally provide accommodation.
During courses if meals are served they will be vegetarian.
"We are so used to being stimulated
from the outside that we find it difficult to be quiet and enjoy
the stillness of our own mind."
