Welcome to Triratna West Kent Buddhist Group
Triratna West Kent Buddhist Group is part of the Triratna Buddhist Community
Led by Order Members Nagarakshita, Vidyaketu and Vidyakaya, we meet once a week on Wednesday evenings, in Tunbridge Wells, to meditate together and discuss the Buddha's teaching as presented by Bhante Sangharakshita, who is our teacher and the founder of our movement.
We have a strong emphasis on Sangha and friendship and making Dharma practice a part of our everyday lives. Anyone interested in finding out more about meditation, Buddhism and the Triratna Buddhist Community is welcome to join us. If you hae any questions please complete the Contact Form on our Contact page or email us at wkbg@hotmail.com
Regular Wednesday evening meetings:
Our Sangha meets every Wednesday at Willicombe Park. Arrival time is 7.15 pm in order to allow for a prompt start at 7.30 pm. The meetings finish around 9.30pm.
These evenings feature meditation, talks, discussion and ritual. More information can be found on our Weekly Programme page
Our Wednesday Sangha nights are primarily for our regulars so we do not teach mediation at these meetings. If you are new to mediation please book on one of our monthly Saturday afternoon beginners meditation classes in order to learn our two meditation practices before joining our Wednesday evening Sangha nights.
If you have any queries please complete the Contact Form on the Contact page
Please note we have re arranged some of our current planned evenings because of the recent weather - see the Weekly Programme page for detail
