A non-sectarian style of Buddhism, suitable for people living in the contemporary Western world.
Sheffield Buddhist Centre is the hub of a thriving, friendly community of practising Buddhists. The Centre is run by members of the Triratna Buddhist Order, who teach and practice a non-sectarian style of Buddhism, suitable for people living in the contemporary Western world.
We run regular classes for newcomers to Buddhism and meditation as well as a packed programme of other classes, events, retreats, festivals and study seminars for those with more experience.

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