Seeking Buddhists in Exeter UK

edited November 2010 in Sanghas
How I miss a sangha and without a computer of my own I have so little access to NB !!

Anyone in my area? I do hope so! :(

I would love to share walks, meditation, lunch, discussions...

    Here's another:

    I can recommend Kelsang Chonyi as a teacher, and the classes are 'drop-in' so easy to go on a 'blind date' LOL :)

    Hiya Sara
    Have you found a Sangha in Exeter yet? I am from Devon and searched the web -
    "buddhist" "exeter" and a few came up I had a look at a couple of them and then made a couple of calls - and true - it's like going on a blind date :-)

    Good wishes and good luck

    Wow... I went to university in Exeter, it's where I first began practicing Buddhism. Back then there was only a single Buddhist centre, the small NKT one behind the St Luke's Campus.

    It's wonderful to see so many centres there now! Looks like all those prayers for the increase of Dharma paid off! :D
