Amida Mandala Buddhist Temple

About

We are a Pureland Buddhist group with a temple in Malvern. We offer several weekly services, retreat days & more: www.amidamandala.com

Story

Pureland Buddhism is a tradition which traces its roots back to the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, who lived 2500 years ago in ancient India. Pureland travelled through China and into Japan, where in medieval times it became (and still is) a powerful movement. From Japan, it travelled to the UK. In 1998 the Amida Order came into being when three people took vows with our teacher, Dharmavidya David Brazier.

In September 2010 Rev. Kaspalita & Rev. Satyavani, ordained priests in the Order of Amida Buddha, moved to Malvern and created a space for Pureland practice.

We currently offer the following:

Wednesday night services. Amida Malvern meets weekly for Buddhist practice and discussion followed by tea and sometimes cake. Wednesdays at 7:30pm - 8:30pm at The Wheel of Life Centre, 6 North Malvern Road, WR14 4LT. All welcome.

Study mornings. We meet once monthly at our house for a Dharma talk and informal conversation about the morning's topic.

Chanting and retreat days: Longer practice periods.
