Longer Retreats
Leeds Buddhist Centre Retreats
Weekend Retreats are held in the peace and quiet of the local countryside in a warm and friendly environment, away from our usual routines. Sangha weekend retreats are a chance for all of us connected with FWBO Leeds Buddhist Centre to spend time together and practice as a community. They allow us to engage more fully in meditation and Buddhist Practice and include talks, discussion and ritual.
These retreats are open to those familiar with our meditation techniques.

The Heart sutra is an important text in our tradition and is often chanted as part of our puja. This weekend offers an opportunity to delve more deeply in a practical manner into what it is pointing out, using the sutra itself as our guide. This will include led meditations, reflection, discussion and ritual.
