Our Vision
The Northwest Centre for Buddhist Meditation is one branch of a network of around 100 such centres around the world on all five continents which hope to promote meditation as a means toward world peace, so that values such as the following might gain currency in the world community:

  • that meditation is good for everyone
  • that gathering together to meditate in peace is a valid alternative to peace strategies such as disarmament
  • that Inner Peace and Happiness are potentially discoverable by all
  • spreading Loving Kindness to the people of the world,
  • relaxing and learning to let go of anxieties,
  • stress and lightening depression,
  • learning about self-development,
  • to develop good habits which support Inner Peace through Meditation
  • discovering how we can help create World Peace through Inner Peace.
