Triratna Buddhist Group (Worthing)
The Worthing Triratna Buddhist Community meets every Thursday 7.30 – 9.30pm
We place an emphasis on friendliness, meditation, study and bringing our understandings of Buddhism to our daily lives. We have practice sessions on some Saturdays. On Tuesday evenings some of us meet to study. We take it in turns to have a film night most months at each other’s homes.
If you feel an inner voice wanting to make sense of life, wanting to find a better way to live in the world or maybe a clear vision or desire for greater freedom in this life, in this world then Buddhism is well worth a look. Please feel free to drop in and find out more.
Covid-19: In view of the government advice about coronavirus, physical sangha evenings have been cancelled until further notice. This truly is conditionality in its most transparent form, affecting people on a massive scale. We will continue to meet on Zoom and everyone is welcome to join us. Please contact us using any of the links further down the page if you would like to take part in our Zoom meetings.
Please see our Facebook page for forthcoming events.

Yuletide closure
Meditation
We have a Buddhism and meditation evening every Thursday from 7.30 – 9.30 pm. We usually close for one or two Thursdays over Yuletide.
The evenings are open to everyone regardless of experience, age, gender, race, class. A warm welcome awaits – just turn up – we’re on the ground floor, through the front door and to the left.
Everyone is welcome to attend from newcomers wanting to dip their toes in, to those wishing to go deeper in their practice.
Study Courses
For those wishing to learn more about Buddhism we run courses of dharma study and go on regular retreats to deepen our practice.
Devotional
The first Thursday of each month is usually a practice evening – an opportunity to meditate together and hold a Puja, or devotional ritual.
We celebrate key occasions throughout the Buddhist year as well as the Summer and Winter solstices.
We also meet up regularly, for a practice morning one Saturday each month.
