What we’re about
Our friendly group meets in person on Tuesday evenings (except for the 2nd Tuesday of the month). We meet from 7-9pm in the upper room of The Quaker/Friends Meeting House, 21 Thorpe Road, Peterborough, PE3 6AB. Please note that the doors close at 7pm for security reasons. As we are upstairs we are unable to look out for latecomers.
If you’d like to be included in our monthly newsletter with details of the Tuesday evenings then please email us at [peterboroughbuddhistgroup@gmail.com](mailto:peterboroughbuddhistgroup@gmail.com) with your email address and we'll add to our mailing list.
We are a welcoming group of people, drawn together by our wish to explore Buddhism and meditate together. You do not need to consider yourself a Buddhist to join us - we are made up of people from all sorts of different cultures and backgrounds, and the group is relevant to anyone looking for personal growth and meaning. You do not need to have any experience of meditation to come along. Learning meditation is a life-long experience, so we all have to start somewhere! The evening is always structured so that new people will be given the support they need to join in.
Our classes run on donations and we suggest £7 although you are free to donate whatever you want. However we’d rather you come along even if you aren’t able to make a donation.
Options to donate;
· Giving directly to the group (‘Triratna Peterborough’) via their Natwest account: sort code 55-50-42, account number 63151499 or
· cash on the evenings we meet
There is a Peterborough Team made up of the Order Member (OM) and mitras (friends of Triratna) who meet approximately monthly to discuss the finances of the group, safeguarding, planning group activities such as who is leading the evenings, organising of events etc. If you have any ideas or concerns that you’d like to share with the team or the safeguarding representative then just ask whoever is leading that evening and they will point you in the right direction.

See all- 5 Week Meditation CourseThe Friends Meeting House, Peterborough
Come along and learn more about Buddhist Meditation. This course is aimed at Newcomers but also a great opportunity for those who have attended a few evenings with us and want to get a good foundation. The course will be run just before our regular Tuesday evening meeting, from 6pm until 6.45pm. Anantamati will be leading it with some support from the team. The dates are 2nd, 16th, 23rd, 30th September, and 7th October at The Quaker Meeting House. This course is free but as usual we ask for donations to cover the cost of the room, however we want the teachings of the Buddha to be available to all so don’t let money be a barrier. Please ask if you have any questions. Let us know if you intend to come along to this 5 week course by emailing us at peterboroughbuddhistgroup@gmail.com
