The Buddhist Sangha of Bucks County is a community(sangha) that practices Buddhism, provides meditation instruction and community service in a manner consistent with the teachings of the Buddha. The sangha is open anyone who wishes to learn about and practice meditation and Buddhism.
We meet Monday nights at 7pm to put our intentions into practice. A member volunteers to lead a short service which consists of selected readings from the service booklet compiled by our members, followed by a 20 minute meditation period and another 20 minute meditation period where some people practice walking meditation . We close service with selected readings from the service booklet followed by tea, snacks and a dharma discussion in the social hall adjacent to the sitting room on various topics (check our newsletter and/or facebook for the latest). The sangha holds periodical meditation day long retreats, welcomes special guest teachers, and engages in community service.
