Manchester Buddhist Centre, England

Foun­ded in 1977, Manchester Buddhist Centre has taught the essen­tial prin­ciples of med­it­a­tion and Buddhism to thou­sands of Man­cuni­ans. In July 1996, they moved from Chorlton to Turner Street. Once a derel­ict Vic­torian ware­house, it is now a place of sim­pli­city and beauty.

Manchester Buddhist Centre has been teach­ing Buddhism and med­it­a­tion in Manchester since 1977. Med­it­a­tion and Buddhism courses run all year in the even­ing and in the day time. On the second floor is Body­wise Nat­ural Health Centre, meet­ing rooms for hire and our award win­ning Earth Cafe is situ­ated in the basement.



Manchester Buddhist Centre is bring­ing the ancient Buddhist tra­di­tion alive in a mod­ern world as part of the Friends of the West­ern Buddhist Order (FWBO), an inter­na­tional move­ment foun­ded by an Eng­lish­man, Sangharak­shita.

You can attend a med­it­a­tion or Buddhism course, attend a Liv­ing Well course at Breath­works, eat at Earth Cafe, hold a meet­ing, attend a yoga class or have an altern­at­ive ther­apy at Body­wise Nat­ural Health Centre, relax at a well-being day for your team or simply med­it­ate in one of their beau­ti­ful med­it­a­tion halls.
