Ways to deepen friendship, connection and commitment

Volunteer with us, join Dharma study groups, or make a deeper commitment to Buddhism

Volunteer with us

Help the Croydon Buddhist Centre to flourish

Our Centre relies on volunteers to keep it thriving. We need help cleaning, maintaining the building, leafleting, caring for the plants, and more!

We also have a Buddhist business, Hidden Gems, a charity shop next to the Buddhist Centre run largely by volunteers.

If you'd like to explore volunteering with us, don't hesitate to get in touch: info@buddhistcentrecroydon.org

We have a regular volunteer slot on Fridays 1pm -3.30pm, but do email or phone before you come to check we're here that particular day!

Thank you!

Join a Dharma study group

Explore the Buddha's teachings in depth

Study groups meet weekly to discuss the range of the Buddhist tradition's teaching about our human potential.

If you are interested in joining a study group, get in touch with one of our Mitra ("friend") Convenors:

Women's Mitra Convenor: Mokshadarshini

email: mokshadarshini@gmail.com

Men's Mitra Convenor: Kalyananara

email: kalyananara.cbc@gmail.com

Deepening your commitment

Make a deeper commitment to Buddhism by joining our community as a "Mitra"

If you want to continue to deepen your practice at the Croydon Buddhist Centre, we’ll help you to keep on taking the next step. That could be anything from going on retreat to training to join the Triratna Buddhist Order.

A significant step might be to ask to become a Mitra (meaning ‘friend’) in a simple ceremony to mark that you consider yourself a Buddhist and want to practise in the context of Triratna, the Buddhist Tradition that the Croydon Buddhist Centre is part of. If you’re interested, or simply want to discuss taking your involvement further, do get in touch - the Mitra convenors would be happy to talk to you.
