About us

PictureTriratna Order emblem
Triratna Chester - teaching Buddhist Meditation in a way that is relevant to contemporary life; Mindfulness of Breathing, which enhances our awareness and peace of mind and the Metta Bhavana - the cultivation of loving-kindness, positive emotion.

Come along to meditate and learn the essential message of the Buddha.  Experienced meditators welcome too.

The Triratna Buddhist Order and Community is a worldwide movement of women and men living by the Buddha’s teachings in the conditions of the modern world. Neither monastic nor lay, we are simply Buddhists, at varying stages of commitment and understanding.




The Three Jewels - detail from Order Members' Kesa.
The Three Jewels are - The Buddha, The Dharma (the Buddha's Teachings) and the Sangha (those who follow the Buddha's Teachings)




















































"Mindfulness is body and mind fully engaged in a state of clar­ity and pos­it­iv­ity that sat­ur­ates and col­ours the whole of our exper­i­ence."

"You are deeply con­cerned for the well-being, hap­pi­ness, and prosper­ity of the object of your loving-kindness.

When you feel this loving-kindness you want them to be not just happy but deeply happy; you have a strong desire for their true wel­fare, growth and progress."
