Here is what some of our Sangha members said about a recent retreat with East Kent Buddhists…

"This was my first retreat with the East Kent Buddhist group, and I am so pleased that I signed up for it. It was inspiring to practice together over the course of a weekend, and really lovely to have time and space to build relationships with this warm and friendly group of people." ................................................... "Community and creating a network of friendships is something that Sangharakshita emphasises as vital dimensions for connection. Being in 'relationship' with other human beings offers deep richness and is a training ground for generosity, compassion, patience and forgiveness. Imagine a weekend surrounded by new friends who come from all walks of life and yet share a common spiritual practice, all committed to kindness - joining the East Kent Sangha for the first time on their weekend retreat was a gift and one that I look forward to experiencing again. I was made incredibly welcome and came away with a deep sense that we are all connected and we are all one Sangha - the only separation is that which we create in our own mind."
