The Society encompasses different forms of buddhist practice and is open to all those interested in finding out about Buddhism. Its aims include those of supporting and propagating the teachings of buddhism and making such teachings and their practice available to those who wish to find out about them. The society offers a regular programme of talks and provides opportunities for meditation practice. Speakers from various Buddhist traditions are invited to give talks at our meetings. The Buddhist Meditation Room on the first floor of the Chaplaincy Centre is available for those wishing to pursue their personal meditation practice.
Newcomers are very welcome to all meetings.
Meetings Our main meetings are on Thursday evenings in termtime at 7.30pm in the Chaplaincy Centre Quiet Room. Our meditation meetings are on early Tuesday evenings. The essence of the path taught by the Buddha is the practice of meditation and reflection. The FWBO exists to provide conditions for people in the modern world to follow this journey of self-awareness, creativity and compassion. A member of the Order or an experienced Friend leads the sessions.
