The Manchester group |
We are a very friendly and small group. We meet every
Thursday at 8.00 pm in Conference Room 1 on the 3rd floor of the Manchester
Metropolitan University Students' Union. This is easily accessible by public
transport and is only 3 -5 minutes from Oxford Road train station, 5 - 10
minutes from St Peters Square metro stop and buses stop right outside the
Student's Union building.
There is usually an introductory talk followed by a guided meditation on the
16th Karmapa. The meditation session is finished by 9.00 pm and then for
those who can stay, we usually have drink together in the Student bar and
discuss any questions in a very relaxed and friendly environment.
If you
are new and before coming you are worried what it will be like, what to wear
or indeed have any other question then please give us a call on the number
below
and we will do our best to answer your questions and explain what to expect.
One thing we can guarantee is a very friendly welcome and some very
interesting people from a wide range of diverse backgrounds and cultures!
