Find peace, find community, find yourself
The Glasgow Buddhist Centre is a welcoming community of Buddhist practitioners who study, practice, and build friendships with each other. Our centre is committed to sharing the teachings of the Buddha for the benefit of all, and we operate out of 72 Berkeley St, Glasgow, Scotland, sharing space with the Glasgow Unitarian Church.
Our Community
Our community is diverse, with people from all walks of life joining us to learn, grow, and build connections with like-minded individuals. As we grow, we embrace the challenges and gifts that come with building a conscious community. We are proudly a part of the worldwide Triratna Buddhist Community, which has over 60 urban centres and 15 rural retreat centres around the world in 27 countries.
Our Services
We offer a range of services, including introductory classes, level-two classes, and talks, as well as in-person sangha events and community activities. Our services are designed to help individuals understand the Buddha's teachings more deeply, as taught by Sangharakshita, and to provide a supportive community for those seeking to live a Buddhist life.
What is Triratna?
Triratna is a worldwide movement of people engaging with Buddha's teachings in the conditions of the modern world. Our movement is committed to going for refuge to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and to living a life that is guided by the principles of compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness.
Our Team
Our team is made up of experienced Buddhist practitioners who are committed to sharing their knowledge and wisdom with others. Our council and supported team include men's mitra convenor Dhirajyoti, external trustees Maitrinaga, Maitrisiddha, Parami, Vajracetana, and Viryadevi.
Getting Involved
If you're interested in getting involved with our community, we offer a range of ways to do so. You can attend one of our introductory classes, listen to a talk, or get involved in one of our community activities. We also have a blog where you can stay up-to-date with the latest news and events from our centre.
The Ashram has received mixed reviews from visitors, with some expressing their love and admiration for the space, while others have been disappointed or frustrated with certain aspects of their experience.
Positive Comments
The Ashram has been praised for its welcoming and inspiring atmosphere, with many reviewers finding the space to be beautiful and the people to be friendly and informative. The courses and classes have been described as great, informative, and nourishing, and the ashram has been found to be a safe and peaceful place.
Negative Comments
On the other hand, some reviewers have expressed disappointment and frustration with their experience at the Ashram. One visitor was turned away at the door after traveling a long distance to visit, despite the website and Google listing indicating that the ashram was open. Another reviewer had a beginner's class canceled without notice, and still, another felt unwelcome and unwelcomed by the staff and residents.
