Before you come
What actually happens when you walk in.
If you have never been inside a Buddhist centre, none of this is obvious. So here it is written down.
Do I need to be a Buddhist?
No. Many people who join us are simply curious, or looking for somewhere quiet to practise. Nobody will ask you to convert, register, or declare anything.
What do I wear?
Something modest and comfortable that you can sit in — covered shoulders and knees. Many members wear white, but you do not need to. Shoes come off before you enter the shrine hall.
What does it cost?
The centre runs on dāna — voluntary giving — and there is never a request at the door.
I have never meditated. Can I still come?
Yes. Our meditation sessions are not guided, but someone will show you where to sit and what to expect. You can also just observe.
What if I arrive late, or need to leave early?
Come in quietly and sit at the back. Leaving early is fine too. No one will mind.
Can I bring my children?
Yes. The children's class runs every Sunday, and younger children are welcome.
