Notes and Events:

The Preston Serene Reflection Meditation Group was formed in 1994. We meet on Tuesdays at 7.00pm in St Peters Room, St.Johns Minster, Church Street, Preston PR1 3BU. The first time you come, one of our group members will talk with you about our practice and show you how we meditate. Our style of meditation is called "serene reflection meditation" - we are part of the Soto Zen tradition of Buddhism.

The group is affiliated to the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives. The Order is dedicated to the practice of the Serene Reflection Meditation tradition, know as Tsao-Tung Chan in China and Soto Zen in Japan. The Order was established by Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett to serve as the international umbrella organisation for the monasteries, priories (local temples) and meditation groups led by priests of our lineage in Britain, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, France and the United States. The group has strong connections with Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey, a Zen Buddhist monastery and retreat centre situated in Northumberland - its Abbot is Rev. Master Daishin Morgan. Senior members of the monastic community there regularly visit the group and also lead short retreats in Preston. They are also available on request to give private spiritual counselling to group members.

Notes and Events:

We sit every Sunday from 7 to 9 pm. Beginners Night is held on the first Sunday of every month. Instruction is from 6:30 to 7 pm, followed by a regular sitting from 7 to 9 pm.

The Princeton Area Zen Group (PAZG) engages in lay meditation practice in the tradition of Yasutani-Yamada-Aitken. Founded in 1991 by teachers Manfred Steger and Perle Besserman, the Princeton Area Zen Group is a community-based, non-residential unaffiliated Zen center designed to introduce anyone with a sincere desire for self-realization to the formal practice of zazen (sitting meditation).

The group is not a religious organization, but a collection of committed, like-minded individuals responsible for maintaining and supporting a place of Zen practice. It emphasizes traditional elements of Zen practice, such as sitting meditation, Dharma talks, private interviews, and retreats, but within a framework of Western culture with an emphasis on democratically discussed and implemented community policies.

Notes and Events:

回顾般若念佛堂过去五十多年的历史 , 可以追溯到上世纪 50 年代初，当时住在偏僻的罗弄万国的居民及附近的住院病人有心修学佛法，希望在该区能有一间供礼佛、诵经的佛庙，于是自发组织起来，在旧板桥医院近邻搭建一间简陋的锌板屋，设置佛坛，供奉佛像。每逢初一、十五及佛诞佳节，聚众诵经礼佛，从此香火日益旺盛。由于地方简陋狭小，在信众与日俱增的情况下，地方显得越来越不够用.

Notes and Events:

The Pure Land Learning Center is a non-profit incorporated association and was granted Tax Exempt status by the ATO in 2001. The center devotes its full effort in introducing the concept of Buddhism as an education. It guides us to be filial, respectful to our teachers, cherish our traditional values, and promote multicultural understanding between different religious and ethnic groups as The Buddha explained "WE ARE ALL ONE ENTITY".

We conduct weekly meditation, Dharma lectures, and supply free Dharma materials. All services are free of charge and everyone is welcome to join us. We follow the instruction of the Buddha to deliver his teaching to anyone who has needs or is interested in Buddhism, without discrimination and conditions. We hope everyone who practices according to the teachings will benefit spiritually and physically, and will prosper in whatever they are doing. Only then can there be harmony among people, and world peace.

Our center is affiliated with the Pure Land Learning College of Toowoomba, Queensland. We operate independently from the college in the financial and management aspects, however, we share the same mission and objectives and receive guidance from the same master, Venerable Chin Kung.

Notes and Events:

Centrum pro tibetská buddhistická studia Rabten Čhödarling bylo založeno v Liberci v roce 2000 jako pobočka Institutu pro vyšší tibetská studia Rabten Choeling. Tento institut byl založen v roce 1977 Ctihodným Geše Rabtenem ve švýcarském Le Mont Pelerin nad Ženevským jezerem a spolu s dalšími centry v Rakousku, Německu, Francii a Maďarsku tvoří síť respektovaných studijních center.

Duchovním ředitelem centra Rabten Čhödarling je Ctihodný Gonsar Tulku Rinpočhe, který je zároveň ředitelem ostatních Rabten center a externím profesorem na Universitě Johanna Wolfganga Goethe ve Frankfurtu.

Liberecké centrum vzniklo s cílem umožnit a zpřístupnit studium autentických pramenů tibetské buddhistické tradice se všemi jejími aspekty a přispět tak k jejímu zachování. Navazuje na tradici linie velkých duchovních Mistrů minulosti jako byli Buddha Šakjamuni, Nágardžuna, Asanga, Atiša a Dže Congkhapa až po Mistry naší doby jako Kjabdže Tričhang Dordžečhang a Geše Rabten Rinpočhe.
