Following Government guidance we are suspending classes at the Buddhist Centre. Our online classes will continue.
Thursdays 7.30-9.00pm
Suitable for those who have been coming to the Buddhist Centre for more than three months. Hosted by Singhamati and Team.
At the heart of the Birmingham Buddhist Centre is a community of people that are exploring and practising Buddhism – this is the sangha. Every Thursday night is Sangha Night, where we come together to create a place of friendship, connection and depth, whilst enjoying collective meditation, Dharma and devotional practice. Like most of our events, it is run on a donation basis.
You don’t need to book to attend online. The login for the class is here. Meeting ID: 845 7850 1931.
