Brixton Meditation

Welcome! This is the website of the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order in Brixton — or FWBO (Brixton).

We are a team of Buddhists aiming to provide a local situation for people to meditate together and explore Buddhism.

On Monday evenings we offer meditation teaching. On Thursday evenings we introduce Buddhism alongside meditation for those who have learnt the meditation practices as taught by the FWBO. See the Local Classes page for times and venue.

We welcome everyone interested in meditation and/or Buddhism. Our classes have a friendly atmosphere and promote a sense of community. On this site you can find details of all our Brixton meditation and Buddhism activities, as well as information on books, retreats, and special events and festival days at other Buddhist Centres in London.

About what we teach

We teach two fundamental Buddhist meditation practices: the Mindfulness of Breathing, which enhances our awareness and peace of mind; and the Metta Bhavana — “the cultivation of loving-kindness” — which brings about a gentle but potentially radical transformation in our emotional experience. The Thursday class also explores Buddhism in more depth.
