Steps to enlightenment
A six-week course on buddhist practice
6 Tuesday evenings from 7th July 2026 (7.30pm-9.30pm) at the Nottingham Buddhist Centre.
Open to all levels of experience.
Our courses are designed for all levels of experience—whether you're a newcomer or a regular. Each course offers an opportunity to explore Buddhist practice by engaging with different themes in a practical, accessible way.
How to walk the Buddhist path to Enlightenment
Reading books, sporadic meditation, flitting between teachers and piecemeal teachings can all give some sense of Buddhism, but leads only to spiritual stagnation. A path of more regular steps towards spiritual growth is required…
This movement from a sporadic and irregular spiritual practice to one with momentum and consistency is central in making actual progress on the path.
On this six-week course we’ll explore what it means to walk the path of Buddhist practice in a regular and systematic way, such that we experience an ever-deepening flavour of Enlightenment in our lives.
Join Kusaladevi & Paraga on a journey into Buddhist practice, discovering how these timeless teachings can help us cultivate greater freedom, clarity, and contentment in our everyday lives. Through meditation, discussion, and talks, this course invites us to look at the value of a steady and consistent practice, and how it can lead to genuine spiritual growth and transformation.
HOW TO BOOK
We run everything at the Nottingham Buddhist Centre on a donation basis - we want our events to be available to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. We ask for a donation at the time of booking if possible, as we’re completely reliant on your generous donations to keep our doors open to all.
We’d suggest a donation of £105/£85/£65 - or whatever amount you can and would enjoy giving.
If you are unable to give even a very small amount, you are still very welcome. Please email info@nottinghambuddhistcentre.org and we'll book you on.
(Please note: any donation made is a donation to the centre and not payment for an event. If for some reason you can’t make the event, you’re warmly welcome to join any other suitable event)
accessibility
We warmly welcome everyone, but unfortunately due to the age of our building and costs to renovate, sadly our space currently has limited accessibility for wheelchair users or those unable to use stairs.
There is a fold out ramp leading to the ground floor entrance, but please note that the shrine room—where many of our courses and events take place—is upstairs and not wheelchair accessible.
Our drop in meditations often take place solely in the downstairs space, but our toilets are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.
While we don’t have an accessible toilet, there are handrails for support. If you'd like to visit or discuss any specific needs, please reach out and contact us at info@nottinghambuddhistcentre.org. We're happy to offer a tour of the building and will do our best to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
