I have attended Bodhisattva Kadampa Meditation Centre 3 times now and try to go at least once per year. As others have said it is very friendly and welcoming. the food is amazing and the accommodation is very good. I always leave feeling so uplifted and the meditation sessions and subjects have gone on to help me with some difficult life situations If you want a lovely (affordable) peaceful weekend, in beautiful surroundings, this will be the perfect reset for you

I have found the centre to be very open and welcoming to all comers who want to practise meditation. For me, it gave an introduction to the benefits of meditation : other visitors are regular and devoted practitioners who embrace the Centre's Buddhist tradition. There are drop in sessions, classes, courses and retreats - something for everyone, and all very affordable.The shrine room is just vibrant. Delicious and healthy food vegetarian and vegan food is served by volunteers at the World Peace cafe, and there is a large and beautifully serene garden where you can sit, eat and relax. I can't recommend it highly enough.

This is different to the Brighton Buddhist Centre as this has real monks here, and has a tangible spiritual presence to the place. This is the place to learn effective Tibetan meditation, if you are serious about finding your inner Buddhahood via meditation then this is the place to come. This place is perfect for beginners. They do study/empowerment weekends/retreats for the Groupies/In-Crowd and general public classes. They also do pre-work, lunch-time, after-work and evening meditation slots. They have a formalized World Peace Café (was always good before then - is vegan friendly), the Buddhist shop was good for books etc for their (Tibetan) tradition. They do meditation classes around Sussex (hence the URLs of 'Meditate In? a town near you?.com) and remote study courses if you cant get out and about. Everyone there is VERY friendly and welcoming. If you want to tackle depression then this is the place. Every had a bucket of hot tingly bliss toss over you? The meditation practice here will change your outlook on the world and your perception of reality. However, if you want to make change happen in your life and be the master of your own destiny then this is not the practise for you (so try the SGI in Brighton). This one will just make you happy where you are - that's good for a great many people.

Kadampa are around the world we love meeting them when we travel. We are from France, we came in 2016 and we fell in love with this peacefull place ! This center is wonderful and powerfull. They offer lot of activities like teaching, lunch méditation kidsclass prayers weekend courses.etcetc... Since this time we try to come once a year to vist this beautiful place in the middle of Brighton city. Dont forget to try their lovely cake at the wordlpeacecafé.

I love this place and have been going here for years. I went here in labour as it was the place of calm I needed to be just before having my daughter. 2 days later I took my daughter to meditation in my arms and took her to mum/baby meditation then kids meditation-can't get enough of the place. The negative review of the place..it seems as though this person needs to work on him/herself a lot and understand about how Buddhism can help to alleviate stress in the modern day. The Buddhist centre is a place of calm, not a business and not a place for lots of negativity and stress. Maybe Buddha has a way of deciding who should and shouldn't be welcome.

Excellent place to learn how to meditate and gain understandings of Buddhist Philosophy which are so helpful in solving the problems of daily life. Great place to do a retreat with accommodation options, relaxed environment with two meditation rooms, world peace Cafe. The teachers are also so welcoming and receptive to everyone of all walks of life.

Have been going to Bodhisattva centre for courses for years and have always enjoyed staying in this little pocket of peace and harmony in the middle of Brighton with all its attractions. Have taken family to visit and they have loved the peaceful atmosphere and lovely cafe and gardens. Would recommend to anyone for a visit. For beginners the half day workshops are great.

I attended a mediation retreat here. It was wonderful. The mediation room was very peaceful. I found these surroundings really helped my concentration. The mediation retreat was focused on a Buddha of compassion called Avalokiteshvara. It was a fantastic experience that I would recommend everyone to try.
