Online Guided Meditation

Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:30am – 8:15am

For those who would like to meditate with others, Mahasraddha offers a lightly guided meditation on Zoom (online) on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, starting at 8am.
Everyone who has attended (or is attending) either a course or day retreat with us is welcome.

These guided sessions online can be a good support to building an effective and regular meditation practice in your life, and Mahasraddha leads both the Mindfulness of Breathing meditation and the Metta Bhavana (loving kindness) meditations, roughly alternately.

Email us for the joining link, if you don't already have it (it will have been in your original course or event joining info).

Venue: Online via Zoom

Morning Puja

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 7:30am – 8:15am

The Morning Puja beautifully condenses the essentials of why we make the effort to practice the Dharma.

It takes about ten minutes, and is followed by an open sit of one's own choice, for those who can stay on. We end with the verses again and close the Zoom at 8.45am. Feel free to leave as and when you need to.

Open to everyone who has attended (or is attending) either a course or day retreat with us is welcome.

Radical Dharma - a 6-week introduction to Buddhism and Meditation

Sundays 6:15pm – 8:45pm for 6 weeks starting 12 October

Radical Dharma, a 6-week introduction to Buddhism and Meditation with Scarborough Triratna Buddhist Group, starting Sunday 12th October 2025.

Can we really find happiness in more and more distraction, and having lots of stuff? Buddhism tells us that this won’t work – but that there is a deeper, more stable happiness to be found, if we look in the right place.

On this course you will learn the two most important Buddhist meditation practices, and try out some powerful Buddhist wisdom teachings that can change the way we see the world.

Venue: Snainton Village Hall, Barkers Lane, Snainton, Scarborough, YO13 9BG
