Learn to Meditate

Meditation is the most direct way to work on your mind and so transform your experience of life. While it’s easy to start meditating with an app, the oldest and best way to learn is face-to-face with a teacher, deepening your practice in the company of others. 

Explore Buddhism

Buddhism is a complete, practical path of human growth. Drawing on the breadth and depth of the tradition, we teach Buddhism in a way that is relevant to modern life.

Go on Retreat

To get a true sense of the Buddhist vision, we have to experience it directly. Going on retreat is a vital chance to step away from our day-to-day and begin to open up to the mysteries beyond our ordinary mind.

Buddha Day Festival

At Vajrasana Retreat Centre

All authentic Buddhist practices and teachings stem from the Buddha’s transcendental attainment under the Bodhi tree in northern India two and a half thousand years ago. Buddha Day is especially important for the LBC this year, as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of the building of our retreat centre, Vajrasana.
In person at Vajrasana – just turn up or book a return coach from the LBC
