Advanced Retreats

Retreats offer the opportunity to gain a deeper experience of meditation than in daily life. On retreat we withdraw from our usual routine and structure our time and conditions so that we can get the most out of our meditation.
These particular retreats give the chance to explore particular practices in depth. They are suitable for those with some existing experience of meditation and are unguided. Explanation of the practices can be give before sessions if you are new to them.

Step back and take a day out of busy life to focus on inner peace and inner development with a retreat at Bolton Abbey and our other retreat locations. Bolton Abbey is the ideal setting to do this, with space to unwind and relax between retreat sessions in the beautiful landscape of the Yorkshire Dales.

Meditation Workshops

Meditation is a powerful technique for developing a peaceful mind and inner good qualities. The meditation workshops provide quality meditation with clear explanations of the skills required to create stillness within, but are shorter and lighter than our day courses.

A meditation workshop consists of two sessions that include guided meditations, explanation, and discussion. The emphasis is on practicing meditation and applying the experience we gain from it to improve the quality of our life.

Workshops are a perfect way to both relax and develop internally. They are ideal for those who are new to meditation and those who would like to improve.

Stop the Week

Bowl of tomato soup

Switch off, slow down and leave the week behind.

Enjoy a relaxing evening of meditation, good food and good company at Buddha Land Kadampa Meditation Centre in Keighley.

Stop the Week begins with a short talk and guided meditation, giving you an opportunity to let go of the busyness of the week, settle the mind and experience greater inner peace. Afterwards, we sit down together for a delicious home-cooked vegetarian meal in our World Peace Café.

It’s a relaxed and friendly way to experience meditation, enjoy a meal and meet others. Everyone is welcome, whether you are completely new to meditation or have been coming to the Centre for some time.

Places need to be booked in advance as our meals are freshly prepared for the number attending. We can usually cater for special dietary requirements with advance notice, and group bookings are very welcome.

Day Courses

discussingDay courses are a wonderful opportunity to take some time out from the busyness of daily life, deepen your experience of meditation and explore Buddha’s practical teachings on how to develop a more peaceful and positive mind.

Each course focuses on a particular theme in greater depth than is possible during a weekly meditation class, with guided meditations, practical advice and time to explore how these teachings can help us deal with the challenges of everyday life.

Our courses are suitable for everyone, whether you are completely new to meditation or already have some experience. There is no need to be a Buddhist, and no previous knowledge is required.

Most of our day and half-day courses are taught by Gen Kelsang Päljin, a Buddhist monk and Resident Teacher of Buddha Land Kadampa Meditation Centre. We also regularly welcome guest teachers for special courses and events.

Weekly & Monthly Meditation Classes

Solve daily problems, develop peace of mind, improve your health and find meaning & purpose in life. Classes include guided meditations and explanation of how to meditate and practise in daily life. They are run on a drop-in basis so you can join at any stage.

Classes are suitable for complete beginners, those with some experience of meditation and more advanced meditators wishing to go deeper with their practice.

Guided Retreats

Retreats are an opportunity to take time out from the busyness of daily life and focus on meditation. By stepping back from our usual activities, we can develop a deep experience of inner peace and explore Buddha’s teachings in a relaxed and practical way.

During a retreat we simplify our usual activities, giving ourselves time and space to focus on meditation and spiritual practice. Guided retreats are suitable both for those new to meditation and those wishing to deepen their experience.

people-prayingThe chanted prayers at Buddha Land Centre are a chance to help bring peace to this world though prayer and meditation.

Dedicated to world peace these chanted prayers are the perfect method to bring our meditation practice to life. By engaging in these prayers for the benefit of all we can pacify our inner obstacles, gather the necessary internal conditions for realizations and receive the inspiration of pure beings. In this way we can bring lasting peace to our troubled world.
