Day Retreat with Ajahn Amaro in Colchester

Ajahn Amaro — abbot of Amaravati Monastery, ordained by Ajahn Chah in 1979, a monk for over forty-five years — is joining us for a full day of practice. He teaches without ornament: clear, warm, often funny, never making the path sound more complicated than it is.

A whole unhurried day together: morning meditation, a Dhamma talk, the traditional offering of the meal, lunch, and questions and answers before a closing blessing.

New to this? You won't be the only one. No chanting you must join, no posture you must hold — chairs are fine, and watching is a complete way to take part.

There is no ticket. In this tradition the teaching is offered freely, as it has been for twenty-six centuries. Come as you are. Donations to support the space always welcome

A rare opportunity to learn from one of the UK’s most respected meditation teachers visiting Colchester!

On Monday 9th June, we are honoured to welcome Lama Gelongma Zangmo to the Dhamma Centre for an evening of teachings, meditation, and discussion.

Lama Zangmo has dedicated nearly 50 years to Buddhist practice and spent more than 11 years in intensive meditation retreat. A pioneering female Lama, she has devoted her life to helping others cultivate greater compassion, resilience, wisdom, and inner peace.

During this special 90-minute gathering, Lama Zangmo will share teachings on Guidelines to Mind Training (Lojong) — a practical tradition that explores how we can work with life’s challenges, develop a kinder relationship with ourselves and others, and find greater clarity amidst the busyness of modern life.

The evening will include:
• Dharma Talk: Guidelines to Mind Training
• Guided Meditation
• Open Q&A

Whether you are completely new to meditation, curious about Buddhism, or have an established practice, you are warmly welcome.

📅 Monday 9th June
🕖 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 The Dhamma Centre, 175 Maldon Road, Colchester, CO3 3BL

This event is offered on a donation basis in the spirit of making authentic teachings accessible to everyone.

Spaces are limited, so please register in advance at www.dhammacentre.com
