Finding refuge in personal and social change
Are you looking for a Buddhist community of people who study and practise the Lotus Sutra in the UK?
You’ve found your people.
We come together to learn, practise and support one another in bringing the Buddha’s teachings into everyday life.
Some people come to study Buddhism more deeply, some are looking for a practice they can make part of daily life, and others simply want to meet a Buddhist community and see what it is like.
If you are already familiar with the Lotus Sutra, O-daimoku or Nichiren Buddhism, you will find familiar teachings and practices here, rooted in Shakyamuni Buddha’s teaching and the One Vehicle of the Lotus Sutra.
You can join us in person or online, and there is no need to know exactly where you are heading before you begin. You are very welcome to take your time, ask questions and explore with us at your own pace.
For a number of years now I have been very happy to have had the chance to invite the representative of the UK branch of Rissho Kosei-kai (RKUK) to take part in our annual Ceremony at Three Wheels Temple to Pray for World Peace and Reconciliation. This ceremony regularly brings together both clergy from the Church of England and monks and nuns from traditional Buddhist organisations within the UK, along with a number of eminent diplomats from the Japanese and Myanmar embassies and representatives of several international reconciliation groups. Our special encounter with RKUK has enabled profound interfaith insight and deep mutual understanding to blossom between our two Buddhist communities. It is my sincere hope and belief that this will lead to the most wonderful realisation of Harmony within Diversity, the quintessence of Mahayana Buddhism.
Buddhist presence in education, multifaith chaplaincy, and end-of-life care.
