Dear friend,

Many of us in the College have been concerned about the lack of young people involved in our movement and entering the Order. Certainly, when I got started going to the London Buddhist Centre in the 1980s, pretty much everyone was young: the Chair was 35 and, like most people getting involved at that...

Snowdon: First Ever Trackless Expedition!

By Amalavajra on Tue, 2 Jul, 2024 - 10:33

Trackless is a new team-based right livelihood business running Buddhist expeditions for men under 35.

We launched last month with a three day hike in Snowdonia, culminating in a night alone in a bivvy bag on top of a mountain. 

We were completely offline, with periods of meditation, silent walking, and explorations of the Buddha’s life and teachings, as well as local myth.

Amalayodhin, one of the LBC’s Men’s Mitra Convenors, brought JZ (31) and Fred (28). Francis, our qualified Mountain Leader,...

The Buddhist Centre Online Highlights from 2021

By Centre Team on Sun, 26 Dec, 2021 - 12:58

2021 has been another rollercoaster of a year: with the three of the traditional ‘four sights’ of old age, sickness and death an ever present backdrop. But 2021 has also been interspersed with moments of beauty, generosity, connectedness and hope.

Our team has been busy this year keeping the fourth sight—the Dharma—alive; fostering community—sangha—at a time of continued uncertainty.

Looking back over the year, here are some of our highlights from the year that was 2021:

Sub35 Online Day Retreat: Why Join An Order?

By vajratara on Wed, 14 Jul, 2021 - 11:35

Saturday 4 September

Why join an Order? Isn’t enough to simply practice Buddhism without joining anything? Vajratara and Karunadhi from the women’s ordination team along with Dharmacharinis from the young people’s steering group, will communicate a glimpse of the vision of the Order and the potential of spiritual friendship. The Order is more than it appears to be, and to realise that, we must also realise that we are more than we appear to be

Migrant Labourers - Tired Feet: Walk in Solidarity

I hope we all remember how migrant labourers suffered during the sudden lockdown last year in India. The first thing that comes to my mind are images of ‘tired feet’ and ’hunger’. I can not believe millions of feet had to walk thousands of miles to get their homes, and many of them never made it.

One of my inspirations from India is Ashif Shaikh, the founder of ‘Jan Sahas’...
