What is Buddhism?
Buddhist practitioners look to the Buddha as an example and guide. "Buddha" means "Awakened One". The Buddha was a human being born around 2,500 years ago who attained enlightenment and became "awake" to the truth. We too have this same capacity, and his teachings, when put into practice, can bring inner peace, the development of compassion and wisdom, and enrich our daily lives.
Our Temple
We are a temple of the Nichiren School (Nichiren Shu), a Buddhist school founded by the 13th century Japanese monk Nichiren Shonin. We teach and promote the practice of Nichiren Shu Buddhism throughout the UK in order to bring people peace, compassion and wisdom.
Activities
We hold regular practice sessions, organise public teachings and run series of classes on Buddhism in addition to sharing traditional Buddhist life at our temple and celebrating important events in the Buddhist calendar.
