Everyone Welcome!


Vajravarahi Centre is a residential Kadampa Buddhist College in Preston, Lancashire, established for 27 years. The centre offers basic meditation classes as well as study programmes which explain how putting Buddha's teachings into practice can lead to a more peaceful and happy life.

The centre is housed in a beautiful and comfortable Georgian town house and is an oasis of peace and tranquility, a jewel in the heart of the city. Everyone can benefit from this peaceful and friendly environment.

The Benefits Of Meditation

Meditation helps to create an inner calm which reduces stress and helps us to deal with all life's difficulties in a positive way. Our body and mind will become relaxed, our relationships with others will naturally improve and we'll find it easer to develop compassion and to cherish others.


Meditation Classes for beginners

We run meditation classes throughout Lancashire, helping people to de-stress and find inner peace.
