The Centre is located in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, in a building that includes a modern extension designed specifically to accommodate meditation and meeting spaces[1][3].
The Trust manages the maintenance and day-to-day expenses of running the Centre, which serves as a hub for meditation practitioners in the Greater Manchester area.
Activities and Programs
The Centre offers weekly meditation classes for beginners held on different evenings throughout the week. These classes provide instruction in meditation techniques and Buddhist teachings aimed at fostering mindfulness, concentration, and insight[1]. In addition to meditation sessions, the Centre hosts chanting and theory groups, expanding the scope of practice beyond meditation alone[1].
The Trust also facilitates various online activities, enabling wider access to practice and study for individuals unable to attend in person[1].
