Exeter Diamond Way Buddhist Centre
Our Exeter Buddhist Centre is just 10 min walk from the lovely ancient city centre of Exeter. The house is a traditional English terrace built in the 1880s which has been modernised whilst keeping many of it’s original features. The meditation room is on the top floor of the house and is a comfortable space with impressive traditional Buddhist art in a contemporary setting. We meet several times a week and on Thursday evenings we have a short introduction to Buddhism and a brief explanation on how to meditate for newcomers. On Monday evenings we have our normal 16th Karmapa meditation, a short break, then a Loving eyes meditation. There is a small Library of Buddhist books, magazines, DVD’s and regular live streamings of lectures with Lama Ole Nydahl. We have a program of travelling teachers along with other Buddhist related activities such as open days and additional weekend meditation sessions.
All our weekly Buddhist meditation classes are free of charge at the Exeter centre. For further information on meditation times or events at the centre, please visit the main Exeter centre website here

| Mondays 6.30 pm | We have a guided 16th Karmapa meditation, a short break and then a guided Loving Eyes Meditation. These Buddhist meditations are independant of each other so please feel free to come along to either one or even both of them. There will be a brief explanation of the Loving Eyes meditation for those that have not experienced this meditation before. There are no Buddhist talks on this evening and the meditations are slightly longer than on Thursday evening. . |
| Thursdays 7.30 pm |
This is our main evening for weekly meditation. For newcomers there is a general introduction to Buddhism along with a bit more detail about Diamond Way Buddhism. There is then a 10-minute talk from a member of the group on a Buddhist topic followed by the Guided Buddhist meditation on the 16th Karmapa. This meditation is suitable for newcomers and experienced Buddhists alike. |

The centre is open for personal practice, suitable for those already practising Diamond Way Buddhism meditation. Please feel free to come along for the whole or part of the session. Explanations on Refuge Meditation and the Four Foundational Practices are available as needed. The session is sometimes followed by a light lunch for those that wish to stay. |
