Welcome to the Cambridge Buddhist Centre.
We make Meditation and Buddhism available to everyone, through our Dana Economy where everyone contributes what they can.
We also provide classes in bodywork, mindfulness and relaxation.
Buddhism
Buddhism is a set of tools for making life more meaningful. Through developing awareness and compassion you can see life differently and become a force for good in the world.
Meditation
We teach two meditations: the Mindfulness of Breathing, and the ‘Metta Bhavana’, for developing kindness and compassion. Get started: Classes and courses: Monday and Thurday evenings and some lunchtimes. Come along and experience the value of meditation for yourself.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to our experience which helps to free us from the cycles of reactivity, so as to make our life more pleasant and meaningful.
Tai Chi
Tai chi is an ancient art of health giving exercises and flowing movements that make us feel more grounded, relaxed and energised.
Yoga
Yoga is a discipline of both body and mind that helps you to relax and energise.
