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.

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.
