Buddhist Centre Programme for Spring 2027
The current programme of evening meditation, discourse and discussion and weekend Buddhism courses.
There is no need to book in advance for any of our events. There is usually plenty of room.
Buddhist teachings are traditionally given freely, but the Centre relies on voluntary support. If you wish to contribute, suitable donations are: evening/day classes £3.50/£1.50 waged/unwaged; weekend courses suggested donations per day £10/£5 waged/unwaged. At weekends, a light lunch is normally available but you are welcome to bring your own food.
For those preferring not to use cash, donations can be made online to:
Lam Rim Bristol Trust, Account Number: 65360125, Sort Code: 089299
Please give a suitable reference, such as the evening or event attended.
We do not provide printed programmes. Please check this website from time to time for updates on the programme. Also check the Other Events page for teachings, courses etc elsewhere.
The Summer 2027 Programme will start on Monday 5 April 2027.
