Buddha Festival Weekend
Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st May 2026
“A weekend of practice and community as we celebrate the Enlightenment of the Buddha.”
Similar to Sangha Morning there will be led meditations, talks and ritual. There will also be a picnic in the park each day where we share vegetarian food and relax in the friendly atmosphere of our Sangha.
The festival will be co-led by Aksobhin and Saddhaloka.
Saddhaloka was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 1981 and given the Name Saddhaloka, which means ‘light of faith’. He has held many senior responsibilities in the Order. He now concentrates on developing Dharma teaching for the Order and Community and leading retreats at Adhisthana where he lives.
