About the Society
The Hampshire Buddhist Society was founded in 1966 as a local affiliate of the Buddhist Society, founded in 1924. It now consists of two groups that meet in Southampton, offering two of the traditional forms of Buddhism, both rooted in the Buddha’s ancient teachings. The two groups hold separate meetings under the instruction of each school’s teachers and come together occasionally during the year. It is perfectly acceptable for members of the two groups to attend each other’s meetings and much can be learned from different points of view regarding basic Buddhist principles.
The object of the Hampshire Buddhist Society is to make known the principles of Buddhism and to encourage the study and practice of those principles.
The Society has no membership or meeting charges and relies on donations. “Membership” is in the form of mailing lists.
Three times a year we produce a newsletter, which goes to most members by email. You can download a copy on the Blog page.
