Faiths & Paths in Glastonbury: Buddhism

Glastonbury Prayer Wheels
Buddhism is the religion of the followers of Gautama Buddha, whose 6th-century B.C. doctrines strongly opposed the formalized, mechanical rituals of the Brahman sect in Hinduism; Buddha’s teachings offered escape from endless reincarnation, a method of spiritual attainment through correct views and actions (The Eight-Fold Path), and a spiritual goal (Nirvana): a soul free from craving, suffering, and sorrow.
If you would like your Glastonbury organisation to be included in this section, please contact us.




  • There are more than 70 practising spiritual faiths and paths in Glastonbury and many more individuals that have developed their own paths that have helped them explore the Divine. 
  • Listings here are offered for information only and are not intended to be an endorsement or recommendation.  If meeting with individuals, please exercise common sense and employ personal safety guidelines.

Buddhist Meditation & Dharma Discussion

The first half of the evening is an open Buddhist meditation, discussion and tea break, the second half is in the Chan/Zen tradition. Ned Reiter is an authorised meditation instructor and group leader affiliated to the Western Chan Fellowship, although as a group, we are very broadly based - but definitely have a Chan/Zen flavour. Everybody is welcome to join us, and meditation instruction is available to newcomers.
There is no charge for the evening, although we do request a donation, suggested amount £2-£3, to cover the cost of the room and refreshments.

Venue: The Shekinashram 7:00pm - 9.20pm Every Monday
