Our next meditation workshop in Mirfield is on Saturday the 11th of April from 1 pm - 3pm at Eastthorpe Hall, Mirfield. The class is suitable to everyone irrespective of your familiarity with meditation so please come and join us. The class is taught by Andy Torrington who has been practising Buddhism and meditation for over 25 years. In this class we come to understand the real power that the mind of love brings to our lives. It is the antidote to minds that we may be all too familiar with such as anger and attachment that cause us to remain with disturbed unhappy minds that harm ourselves and often those around us. Come and open and warm your heart…everyone is welcome. You can pay on the door or book in advance by following this link:

The situation in our world becomes increasingly uncertain and dangerous. Also in our personal daily life we have constant irritations, unhappiness and worries. We mainly try to solve these problems by external methods, such as changing the situation or people, but very often we do not find real solutions, freedom, or peace.

What we really need is a dependable source of refuge and protection. This comes from inside our own mind. If our mind is peaceful all the time we will be happy all the time, and there is no basis to experience problems. In this refuge retreat we will understand and cultivate peaceful, positive minds of Dharma (realisations of Buddha’s teachings) including faith in Buddha, who bestows inner peace, and Sangha the spiritual friends who help us along the inner path.
This retreat is suitable and open to everyone wishing to understand and find genuine inner protection, and will include some short prayers in each session.

Retreat schedule
9.15am-10.45am Session 1
11.30am-1pm Session 2
3.30pm-5pm Session 3

Find inner peace this Spring in our series of classes : “Letting go of negative thinking”. These classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays are suitable for everyone whatever your experience of meditation might be. Most of our thoughts are not deliberately developed by ourselves and their narrative is rarely a positive one and may be thoughts that provoke worry, anxiety, anger and so on. By following these “unwanted guests” in our mind we can find ourselves trapped in a cycle of negative thinking. This course helps us to avoid this cycle and break free from it, benefitting ourselves and those around us. So come along and move towards the freedom of a peaceful mind. You can pay on the door or book in advance by following this link:

The words “wonderful”, “sublime”, “exceptional” are perhaps overused to the point where they do not mean anything anymore. If that is the case, there are no words for the retreat this weekend when Vajrapani Centre and Vajravarahi Centre joined together at Madhyamaka Centre this weekend. The teachings were as sharp as a sword, as beautiful as a lotus and as deep as an ocean…all delivered with warmth, humour, humility and faith by Gen Varahi and Gen Pagpa. An exceptional, wonderful and sublime (😀), weekend for all.
