Every member undertakes the following duties:

  • To guide their lives according to the Three Refuges and Five Precepts.
  • To study the Teaching of the Buddha and to practise Insight Meditation whenever possible.
  • To help maintain the Bhikkhus (Venerable Monks) and to assist in spreading the Dhamma in at least one of the following ways:
    • By giving Dana to the Monks of food or suitable clothing from time to time.
    • By donations to the Temple funds to aid in the costs of public lectures and printing.
    • By rending personal services such as transport for the Monks when they have to travel, lending a hand organising meetings in the Temple or in hired premises, cooking a meal, cleaning, gardening, minor repairs or decoration, typing out lectures or answering enquiries, etc.

Members endeavour to develop the tolerant spirit of Buddhism while helping others in any way they can, but always remembering that inner harmony and kindly example are better than efforts to proselytise.

    Dear Sir/Madam

    I recently became a Buddhist while living in the US around two years ago.
    Since then I have moved back to the UK with my wife and three kids residing in the
    Richmond andHampton area but have not been able to find a Sangha. I am a mere beginner
    to the practice and would really like a place I could call home, learn more and
    help out in any way I can. I was wondering if you could point me in the right
    direction?
    I have Sundays free as well as Thursday evenings. This would mean the world
    to me as I have no Buddhist friends.

    Warm Reagrads
