The success of a weekly meditation class in Bexhill led to the opening of the Maitreya Buddhist Centre in Sea Road.

Local interest in meditation continues to grow, according to administrator Andrew Durling, who says the centre is "thriving" as it enters its third year.

A full programme of meditation classes and talks on Buddhist thought and practice begins again with the popular Monday evening meditation classes, starting on February 4th at 7.30pm.

Highlights for the coming year include a Medicine Buddha empowerment to be granted by Buddhist nun Lam-ma on the weekend of March 29/30, and two open days, one on March 22, and the other on August 23, in which the public can find out all about Maitreya Centre through taster meditation sessions, guided tours, and videos about Buddhism.
