Find Peace in a Turbulent World

Currently during the Coronavirus restrictions we are meeting online via Zoom, Facebook Live and YouTube Live (see Classes and Courses)

Gradually as the restrictions are lifted, our new Buddhist Centre on Gillygate will become the hub of our friendly, thriving community: local people who are meditating together and exploring the Buddha's teaching on how to be truly happy in our lives.

We are part of the Triratna Buddhist Community, a worldwide Buddhist movement with centres in over 20 countries. Unlike many of the traditional Schools from the East, we practise a form of Buddhism that is very practical and more accessible to us in the West. 

We welcome everyone over 18. You don’t need to consider yourself a Buddhist or wish to become one. We are simply happy to share the Buddha’s teachings to help everyone lead happier, more fulfilled lives in this often turbulent world. No one at York Buddhist Centre receives any payment. We offer our classes freely as an act of generosity.

In order to make our classes available to all, we do not charge.* However since we have no other income, we do rely on the generosity of those who use our Centre, for our continued existence. So if you are able to give a donation or take out a regular standing order, it would be appreciated very much indeed.

*Except for a registration fee on some courses
