Hi I have been given a generous gift of a wall  space in Cafe Villa D'aversa Broadway Market to exhibit my work, this means that I have an on-going exhibition.

Come and see the art and support the business with coffee or tea.

Hello

I am hoping to go to the Buddhafield festival from 11th-15th July 2012 and was just wondering if anyone else is planning on going and might be driving down from London?  If so, I would love to share transport!!

Thank you

I've had some exciting news in the last few days: the novel that I have been writing for the past seven years has been accepted for publication by Salt, an independent publisher based in Norfolk. This is what commissioning editor Nicholas Royle said about it: "I love your novel and want very much to…

He gives what is beautiful,

           hard to give,

does what is hard to do,

endures painful,

           ill-spoken words.

His secrets he tells you,

           your secrets he keeps.

When misfortunes strike,

           he doesn't abandon you;

when you're down & out, 

           doesn't look down on you.

* This is a translation of the Mitta Sutta which i particularly like and feel inspired to share and make more…

Ever wondered who actually runs the LBC?

Well, its folks like you and me!  Giving their time, energy, skills and experience. Sharing what's important - the Dharma - and doing whatever helps keep the Centre vibrant, welcoming, and offering the Dharma to the world.

It's an organic thing, and keeps growing.

Fancy helping out? Curious to find out some of the different ways you could? This Saturday, 28th January, is a day for anyone interested in finding out how they might…

If you're in London, do you fancy joining an already successful altruistic project that not many people at the London Buddhist Centre know about? It's the Globe Community Project and we're looking for a few more folk to get involved or at least know what we're up to!

We're a registered charity and company set up by a bunch of LBC Buddhists in 2003 and share an office with the Arts Centre team at Eastbourne House. Have a look at our website: …

Our first Nature Connection Walk in the seasonal cycle is a 7-mile walk and will take place on Sunday 16…

Words are the least effective way we have of communicating (Sangharakshita) so I'll be posting various visual communications which inspire and elevate me - or simply evoke a shade of being. There are already 3 on my page - with comments. I can actually verbalise too, after a fashion, so will be communicating and…

It's as good a place to start as any isn't it? Hello my name is David. The O, by the way, signifies part of my role on the LBC team. I designed it for an Open Day poster. It's good to be here. Ed's creativity is very magnetic as is the man himself as I'm sure you know. This is a garden of delight. So this week is the Urban Retreat and apart from designing the publicity for it I've been involved making porridge for the morning meditators. Providing sustainance to the brave dharma warriors.…

This week a stream of content is flowing from the Urban Retreat through URBANRETREAT.LBC.ORG.UK to email, sms, TheBuddhistCentre.com/urbanretreat,…

Dear All

My colleague Adrian and I are running a nature connection workshop on 18 Sept and thought you or friends of yours may be interested. Please find the workshop details below.

The pace of everyday lives can all too easily cut us off from the revitalising energy of nature. This workshop will give you the opportunity to explore your connection to nature through your senses.

Bethnal Green Transition (initiated by myself and Akashadevi over a year ago!) is in the midst of setting up a food-growing garden on a piece of green in the midst of a local estate - just beside Westbrook House. If you live on the estate, or nearby, and would like to get involved, please contact either myself, or Shraddhapushpa at susypowlesland@gmail.com  If it's to happen, we need lots of people to help!

Quite a few folks from the LBC…

Hello friends,

The Globe Community Project is a small (but beautifully formed!) charity run by members of the LBC sangha. See our website: www.globecommunityproject.org. We're looking to raise some extra monies for costs not covered by our grant income for projects and our advice service and to move towards helping someone help us to raise money!…

Hi all

Our main crèche worker Ellen has had to leave the team after several years doing a wonderful job in order to attend to other priorities so we now have an opening in the main worker / co-ordinator role which urgently needs to be filled. Also we are always in need of additional volunteers. If you are interested in either of these roles or know someone who might be please contact Sraddhapushpa on 020 8983 1299 or visit the class and say hello. 

Hours: 9.45…
