The Birmingham Buddhist Centre is part of the worldwide Triratna Buddhist Community (formerly known as the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order, or FWBO), which was founded in 1967 by Sangharaksh*ta. The Triratna Buddhist Community makes Buddhism and meditation accessible as a living tradition in the modern world. Our Centre in Moseley is the heart of a network of spiritual friendships. Some memb

ers live together, others live with their families or alone. We practise and teach meditation and Buddhism to anyone who is interested. We welcome visits from schools, colleges, interfaith groups and other interested parties, or can arrange visiting speakers and meditation teachers. We also lead Buddhist funerals. Attached to the centre is a small shop offering a wide range of Buddhist literature, meditation and yoga equipment, incense, cards, Buddhist figures, and more. The centre also has a well kept garden at the rear which is available to use as a quiet space by our visitors. We also have shrine rooms that can be used, by arrangement, for silent meditation and a library where you are welcome to come and study the wisdom of the Buddha.

We might be biased but meditating with others, being physically in the same room, with a bunch of people, sitting, trying to be in their experience, be with their breath, turn towards whatever is going on, is much better than anything any app could ever give you

The spiritual life helps us move from a reactive state of mind, to a creative one.

It helps transform habitual patterns that keep us stuck. It helps us choose curiosity over fear.
It helps turn towards what is difficult rather than run away.
It helps build confidence and resilience.

Buddhist practice is a deeply creative way to live.

We catch up with her to hear about how it’s been and what it does for her practice.

You will always have thoughts in meditation. It’s totally normal.

Some help. Some really don’t.

Each sit can be a whole variety of narratives, distractions, and moments of calm and concentration.

Which thoughts most come up for you? 💭

Suddhimani is sharing the importance of allowing the humble human experience to exist. She believes allowing the most low parts of ourselves be at home in our minds, helps them transform.

The Buddhist path is one of integrating all parts, sides, and versions of ourselves. It’s challenging work, but can lead to liberation and freedom.

Ingle got creative for with a fundraising idea for the centre.

There’s a Tibetan tradition to paint White Tara in 24 hours and then hold a ceremony for healing and longevity.

Ingle wanted to do this for the centre, to honour the future building works, and as an artistic challenge for himself. He usually takes months to work on a painting of a figure.

Watch to the end to see the outcome 🤍
