We run a programme of introductory courses for people who are new to Buddhism and meditation as practised in our tradition. 

Get a taste of how practising the Buddha’s teaching as part of a community can lead to a radical transformation of mind and world.

Exploring fundamental Buddhist tools for living well: ethics, meditation and wisdom, our newcomers events include introductions to the mindfulness of breathing and loving kindness meditation practices.

All of our courses are free and run for 6-weeks, after which you will be invited to a 6-week follow on course that will continue on the same day and time.

Sheffield Buddhist Centre runs thanks to the generosity of people in the teams behind everything we do.

Dana

The Generosity Economy

Generosity is of fundamental importance in Buddhism and the finances of the Centre are run on the basis of “dana”, which means generosity in the old Indian language, Pali. Our aim is to inspire a culture of generosity in the way we share Buddhist teachings.

We therefore only make a formal charge for our school visits. All other activities are offered on a generosity basis.
