Exeter Sakya Buddhist Meditation Group
Meetings (meditation/talk/reflection) – every Tuesday 7.30-8.45pm.
Newcomers welcome

These classes offer an introduction to meditation and Buddhism. All classes are open to everyone and no experience is needed. There is no need to book and you can come along to as many sessions as you wish.

"What is it like to live in a different world: the Buddhist paradigm"

Short talks outlining the Buddhist approach to living in the world, and its underlying philosophy for achieving happiness and contentment for ourselves and others.

How does Buddhism equip us to deal with the challenges of everyday life? What is its liberating and radical take on reality ? We shall explore the answers to these two questions – and the relation between them.

Each session begins with calm-abiding meditation, a platform for engaging with the teachings.

The sessions are run by a long-standing student of the meditation master and scholar Lama Jampa Thaye.

The Exeter Buddhist Meditation Group was established in 1983 and given the name Sakya Thinley Namgyal Ling by its founders Karma Thinley Rinpoche and Lama Jampa Thaye, who has made numerous visits over the years since it was established. Exeter has also hosted teachings by His Holiness the Sakya Trichen, 41st head of the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, and Phende Rinpoche.
