About Maitreya Buddhist Centre

Maitreya Buddhist Centre was founded with the purpose of helping people throughout Bexhill and the surrounding area to find happiness within their own minds. All are welcome to visit.

Maitreya Centre is a Buddhist Centre that is a member of the New Kadampa Tradition of Mahayana Buddhism, which aims to make Buddha's teachings available to everyone, whatever their experience or interest. Since our lives are so busy, we need a special way of developing and maintaining inner peace. The system of meditation taught in the Kadampa Tradition is perfectly suited to the modern world, being easy to understand and put into practice, yet bringing profound results.

Maitreya Buddhist Centre was founded in 2004 by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition. The Centre offers introductory classes for anyone interested in meditation and the Buddhist way of life. These self-contained classes give a basic introduction to Buddhist philosophy, psychology and meditation.

Classes are held on Monday evenings from 7.30pm at Maitreya Centre Bexhill, in Hastings on Tuesday evenings at The Unitarian Church, 7A South Terrace, from 7.30pm. On Thursdays in St. Leonards on Sea at the Southwater Community Centre from 2.00pm and in Rye on Thursday evenings from 7.30pm, and on Fridays at 2.00pm, here at Maitreya Centre Bexhill, class times and more details can be found here.

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

"If our actions are always negative there is nothing particularly special about being human because, although we may have a human body, our behaviour is not very different from that of an animal."
