About the Golden Buddha Centre

Buddhist talks, meditations, and the opportunity to meet like-minded people. Everyone welcome.

The Golden Buddha provides a meeting place for the growing number of Buddhists who are looking to live a Buddhist way of life in a conventional environment. Its aim is also to encourage older Buddhists who wish to be part of the project to live in close proximity to the hall. All events are of course open to all ages.

The centre at present consists of a meeting hall and a flat close by. The flat is for guest speakers and for those visiting the area and wishing to attend events at the hall. It is also used for those wishing to investigate the possibility of moving to the area.

Characteristics of the Centre:

Unaffiliated to any teacher or tradition, the centre hosts a variety of Buddhist talks and study classes at the hall, and provides the opportunity to meet like-minded people.

Extension to Hall:

Planning permission has recently been granted for the extension of the hall to an upper storey. The building work will most likely begin during the middle of this year (2013) and is expected to take several months. The hall will therefore unfortunately need to be closed during that period.


History:

The project began in 1998. A property was purchased near South Brent in 2002 and used as a retreat centre until 2008 when it was sold in favour of purchasing the present meeting hall in Totnes. The hall was purchased in May 2011.

Future Guest Quarters:

It is intended to purchase further residences in close proximity to the centre which will be available for rental by Buddhists who wish to be part of the project and the wider Buddhist community.

Do keep in touch and thank you for your interest.

Best wishes.
