A Meditation Practice Day – Saturday 31st October!

Posted on October 21, 2026 by admin

The Milton Keynes Buddhist Community invites you to attend a day of Meditation Practice on Saturday October 31st from 10am to 4pm at Simpson Village Hall (MK6 3AD).

Meditation is all about opening our hearts and minds, moving from reactive states into creative, positive ones that contribute to our well-being and also to the well-being of those around us and ultimately the world. For those who are experienced this day will help you go deeper with your meditation and for newcomers it can give you a real taste of what meditation has to offer. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to attend!

Please bring a shared vegetarian or vegan lunch.

If you would like to attend you will need to message to book your place (meditatemk@gmail.com). Spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.

The Milton Keynes Buddhist Community meets under the auspices of the Triratna Buddhist Order. We hold meditation classes every Tuesday at 7pm and we have Buddhism talks on Wednesdays at 7pm, both at Simpson Village hall. All are welcome. See our Facebook page for details.

A Six-Week Introductory Course in Buddhism

Posted on August 31, 2026 by Andrew Smith

Buddhism offers us an inspiring vision of what it means to be a human being, but it doesn’t stop there. It also gives us ways to transform our emotions – and our life – in the light of this vision.

Join us, The Milton Keynes Buddhist Community, at Simpson Village Hall starting on Wednesday, 16th September, 2026 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Then every Wednesday through to 21st October. This course is great for beginners, but also for those with some experience of the Buddhist path!

We operate on a donation economy, with a suggested donation of £60 for the six-week course. But if that is difficult please give what you can afford. We are a not for profit group, and just aim to cover our costs. Registration is essential as spaces are limited!

Retreat Day!

Posted on October 1, 2025 by admin

The Milton Keynes Meditation Association invites you to attend a day of Meditation Practice on Saturday October 11th from 10am to 4pm at Simpson Village Hall.

On this day we will highlight the two meditation practices we do within Triratna – the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Metta Bhavana (development of loving kindness). Some experience would be helpful but beginners are welcome and instruction will be provided.

Meditation is all about opening our hearts and minds, moving from reactive states into creative, positive ones that contribute to our well-being and also to the well-being of those around us and ultimately the world. For those people who already know the practices this day will help you go deeper with your meditation and for newcomers it can give you a real taste of what meditation has to offer.

Please bring a shared vegetarian or vegan lunch.

If you would like to attend you will need to message us to book your place. Spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.
