Open Day
Free Programme of Events – Everyone Welcome
@ Burnley Kadampa Buddhist Centre
Saturday 17 October, 10am – 1pm
Come along to our Open Day and discover what Burnley Kadampa Buddhist Centre has to offer. Everyone is welcome, and you don’t need any previous experience of meditation or Buddhism.
Curious about meditation or Buddhism? Or perhaps you would simply like to have a look around our Centre and enjoy some time in a peaceful environment?
You are welcome to drop in at any time between 10am and 1pm. Come for a coffee, have a look around, join one of our free talks or meditation tasters, or stay for the whole programme.
Throughout the morning there will be short, friendly sessions introducing meditation, Buddhist ideas and the meaning behind some of the beautiful Buddhist images in our meditation room. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, meet people from the Centre and discover how meditation and Buddhist wisdom can help us find greater peace and happiness in everyday life.
You don’t need to be a Buddhist or know anything about meditation – the Open Day is for anyone who would like to find out more.
Our World Peace Café will also be open throughout the Open Day, serving a selection of speciality teas and coffees. It is a peaceful place to relax in the heart of Burnley.
All talks and meditation sessions are free. No booking needed – simply come along.
