You may have seen on the calender a Festival and wondered what it is. We have just held the Achalanatha Festival here at the Priory. This is just one of many Festivals that are spread throughout the year. They may celebrate significant moments in the Buddha’s life, a particular Bodhisattva or maybe one of the teachers that are significant within our tradition. It is a wonderful way for the sangha to come together and look into the many aspects of our practice that have brought us to this moment.

The Festivals are held on Sundays and are always followed by a dharma talk which will expand on what the Festival of that day is pointing to. If you would like to explore this aspect of Buddhist training and have been instructed in our practice there is no need to book in but just come along and explore for yourself.
