Pure Land Buddhist Centre offers a range of meditation classes, both at the Centre in Exeter and in other towns in Devon and Dorset. We are part of the New Kadampa
Tradition, founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, and our aim is to help people from all backgrounds and walks of life find inner peace in their lives. Whatever your level of interest, you are most welcome to attend any of our courses.
A Pure Land is a world that is beyond our ordinary experience. However, it is not
mere fantasy - it is simply the world that appears to a pure mind. Buddha taught
that everything depends on the mind. Through training in compassion and wisdom
and working to abandon faults such as anger, jealousy and selfishness we shall
gradually purify our mind and come to inhabit a Pure Land. Following this inner
journey is the essence of the Buddhist path.
Pure Land Centre is moving . . . .
In order help Dharma to flourish in Devon and Dorset we are buying our own property in Exeter (55 Union Road) which is centrally located and also near the university and will serve as a stable base for Pure Land Centre and enable us to bring benefit to many more people. Dharma refers to Buddha’s Teachings and the inner realisations such as love, compassion, patience and wisdom that come from putting these Teachings into practise.
