Prayers & Pujas

Here you’ll find details of upcoming prayers, also known as ‘pujas’ in Sanskrit. All prayers are free to attend and we invite you to join us whenever you wish. After prayers there’s often a chance to say hello, ask questions or catch up with others within our community.

“In general, prayers made by an assembly of many practitioners are very powerful and cannot be compared to the prayers of one or two people. The scriptures give the analogy of a broom. If we try to clean a floor with a few bristles we shall make little progress, but if we gather many bristles to make a broom we shall be successful.”

“I feel a real connection with Buddha, Dharma and Sangha with friends, and I like the shot in the arm it gives me — if I’m feeling a little bit low on energy beforehand, then certainly afterwards I feel uplifted.”
