What's New

From June 2010 the Liverpool Buddhist Centre became part of the Triratna Buddhist Community, formally the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order(FWBO).

We will be known as the Liverpool Buddhist Centre – Triratna Buddhist Community.

'Triratna' means the Three Jewels of Buddhism; the Buddha, the Dharma and the Community. Our name change makes clear what is at the centre of our Buddhist practice.

On Sunday July 10 2011 we moved to new premises in 66 Rodney Street, Liverpool.Our new centre is on the first floor and is a very light and airy room with easy access from street level.

We have a new facebook page- Liverpool Buddhist Centre- which has been running for many months now. All our events and courses are posted on the site with photos and other news. The page is updated frequently and looks very good.

All our courses will now take place at 66 Rodney Street. We are close to the city centre and within easy reach of buses and 7 to 8 minutes walk from Central Station

There are also opportunities to take these practices to a deeper level and establish more regular and sustained Buddhist Practice.

Or those with no religious faith or belief at all

We are based at 66 Rodney Street where we have a weekly Sangha evening for those with some experience of Meditation and Buddhism. We run regular courses throughout the year .

The Liverpool Buddhist Centre is part of the Triratna Buddhist Community ( formerly the FWBO). It is an international Buddhist movement which began in the 1960's in England. It was established by an Englishman Sangharakshita who at that time was a Buddhist monk of over 20 years experience. The movement has since spread to many other countries in Europe, the Americas, to India , Australia and New Zealand.
