Faiths & Paths in Glastonbury: Buddhism
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.

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
