About Us
At BBAUK , we believe that the teachings of Buddhism have the power to bring about lasting transformation in both individuals and society. Our vision is to create a world where people embrace compassion, practice mindfulness, and strive for inner peace. By cultivating a deep understanding of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, we aim to help practitioners live with greater awareness, free from suffering, and in harmony with the world around them.
Our mission is to establish a permanent Buddhist temple where we will offer accessible Buddhist teachings, meditation practices, and community support to people of all backgrounds and faiths. We strive to make the Dharma relevant in contemporary society and provide a space for individuals to explore and deepen their spiritual practice.
Core Values
Compassion
Compassion is at the heart of Buddhist practice. We believe that by cultivating loving-kindness toward ourselves and others, we can create a more compassionate and just world. Our organization is committed to promoting kindness and understanding in all our interactions.
Wisdom
Wisdom, the understanding of the nature of reality, is the path to liberation. We emphasize the importance of developing clear insight into the impermanence, suffering, and interdependence of all phenomena. Through meditation and study, we support practitioners in gaining deeper wisdom that can guide their lives.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in each moment. We offer meditation programs and workshops that help individuals cultivate mindfulness in their daily lives, improving mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
Ethical Conduct
Buddhist ethics guide us toward living in harmony with others and the world. By observing precepts such as non-violence, truthfulness, and generosity, we aspire to create communities where individuals act with integrity and respect for all beings.
Community
We recognize the importance of community (Sangha) in supporting our spiritual journey. Our organization provides a safe and inclusive space for people to come together, share their experiences, and support each other in their practice.
