A Vision of Truth

In a Culture of Friendship

For the Benefit of All

Learn to Meditate

Meditation is the most direct way to work on your mind and so transform your experience of life. The 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.

Get more Involved

The tendency is to think of Buddhism as something you do on your own with your eyes closed. Actually, Buddhism is always practised within a living spiritual community (sangha). At the LBC, we encourage volunteering, teamwork, group study, and friendship.
