Open day and children’s meditation and storytime

We would like to welcome our local community, family and friends to an open day at the Sakya Buddhist Centre in Bristol on Saturday 16th September 2023.

Whether you would like to look around our beautiful shrine room with it’s traditional Tibetan artwork, learn more about Buddhism and the Sakya tradition, make an offering on behalf of a relative, or simply have a sit and a coffee, you are very welcome.

There is a formal meditation class from 10:30-11:30am which you are also welcome to join (no prior experience required just an interest in Buddhism and meditation) and after that our doors are simply open for visitors (11:30am-4:00pm).

We will end the day with a story time and meditation for primary school children from 4:00-4:30pm where we’ll take 5 minutes to do some meditation (with full instructions) and then tell a short story about the life of the Buddha. This event is aimed at children aged 5 – 11, who need to be accompanied by an adult (who may wish to meditate too!).

Feel free to email us on bristol@dechen.org if you have any questions.
