Join us at Simpson Village
Hall, starting March 25th, for a 6-week course. Can we really find happiness in
more and more distraction, and having ever more stuff? Buddhism tells us that
this won’t work – but that there is a real happiness to be found, if we look in
the right place.

The Milton Keynes Meditation Association invites you to attend a day of Meditation Practice on Saturday October 11th from 10am to 4pm at Simpson Village Hall.
On this day we will highlight the two meditation practices we do within Triratna – the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Metta Bhavana (development of loving kindness). Some experience would be helpful but beginners are welcome and instruction will be provided.
Meditation is all about opening our hearts and minds, moving from reactive states into creative, positive ones that contribute to our well-being and also to the well-being of those around us and ultimately the world. For those people who already know the practices this day will help you go deeper with your meditation and for newcomers it can give you a real taste of what meditation has to offer.
Please bring a shared vegetarian or vegan lunch.
If you would like to attend you will need to message us to book your place. Spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.
The Milton Keynes Meditation Association meets under the auspices of the Triratna Buddhist Order. We hold meditation classes every Tuesday at 7pm and we have Buddhism classes on Wednesdays at 7pm, both at Simpson Village hall. All are welcome. See our Facebook page for details.
Karma and rebirth are two of the most widely known teachings connected with Indian spiritual and philosophical teaching, yet they are often profoundly misunderstood. How does it work? And what happens after death? Join us at 7pm on Wednesday August 20th at Simpson Village Hall as we explore the Buddhist perspective on these subjects.
This week, as part of our Dharma Night series on Wednesday evenings, we will be taking a closer look at just what is meant by the Buddhist teaching of “Anatta”, often translated as “No Self”. Why not come along to find out! Everyone is welcome – hope you can join us at Simpson Village hall at 7pm on Wednesday 6th August.
Meditation and Buddhism classes in Milton Keynes. 7:00-9:00pm on Tuesday (meditation) and Thursday (Buddhist Dharma study) evenings at Simpson Village Hall. Our last meeting of 2024 will be Thursday 19th December. We will restart on Tuesday 7th January 2025
These days, mindfulness is everywhere. How can engaging with images – with imagination itself – take our awareness deeper and help us connect with something truly transformative? Join us as we explore how a Buddhist perspective on consciousness can help move us towards a life touched more fully by a sense of creativity and freedom.
This coming Thursday, we look at imagination within the framework of Triratna’s system of practice, an approach to Buddhism that represents a naturally unfolding process of experience emerging from the dedicated cultivation of awareness and kindness.
At 7:00pm on Thursday 31st October we will be meeting to look at this at Simpson Village Hall, Hanmer Lane, MK6 3AD. Email to meditatemk@gmail.com if you’d like to come along!
From 10th October we are launching “Dharma Night”. This is a chance to explore Buddhist themes and their relevance to our lives in some depth, and will be led by Visada, a highly experienced Triratna Buddhist Order member who lives locally in Milton Keynes.
Dharma night will be a chance to explore basic Buddhist teachings in a bit of depth; a good introduction for the beginner as well as a way for the more experienced to take their understanding and practice deeper. Some familiarity with the two meditation practices we teach would be helpful but not essential. It will take place on Wednesday evenings, beginning at 7:00pm and finishing at 9:00pm. The venue will be Simpson Village Hall – Hanmer Lane, Milton Keynes, MK6 3AD.
Please note that we will still be running our Tuesday evening meditation sessions as well – nothing changes for them!
If you are interested in attending Dharma night (Wednesdays) or Meditation night (Tuesdays) please contact us, as places are limited.
