Sangha Morning
A class at the Buddhist Centre with led meditations of the two main practices, talks and discussion around a variety of Buddhist topics.
Suitable for all levels of experience.
Practice Night Class
Our new series is a deep exploration into the Three Laksanas, the three marks of conditioned existence.
As usual with our Practice Night class, experience of our meditation practices is required, however no experience of puja is needed.
This class is an ideal progression from our Wednesday night newcomers class or our Saturday sangha morning class. If you're not sure whether to attend the class feel free to speak to any of our experienced team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to join in the middle of the series?
Absolutely. Though of course you'll get those most out of the class by attending the whole series, there's no need to wait until the start of the next series if you want to start coming.
Do I need to book?
No - just arrive at the Buddhist centre in time to begin promptly at 7pm.
How long do I need to have been coming?
The class is best suited for those who have attended an entire series (or most of a series) on Newcomers Night or have completed an Introductory Course.
I can't make it to any of the introductory classes, can I come to this class instead?
Since the meditation practice is usually without instruction, and the topics covered are quite in depth, this class is not well suited for newcomers.
How much does the class cost?
We don't charge for our classes, and the team are not paid for their time. We simply ask that those who are able to do so make a donation to the centre to help us cover our running costs.
Can I still attend if I am under 18?
All are welcome at our classes however if you are under the age of 18 please contact us in advance of joining the session (contact@colchesterbuddhistcentre.com)
