Amida Buddha
Since 2015 Amida Shu meetings have been held in Perth, Scotland, where there is a 'Home Temple - home temples are traditional in Pureland Buddhism.
These meetings are run by Sujatin Johnson, who is an Amida priest, one of the senior ministers with the Order. She teaches Amida Shu Pureland Buddhism and an introduction to basic Buddhism, and offers opportunities for Pureland practice - including chanting, walking, sitting, gentle guided meditation, music, some dancing, some art events - in a warm and welcoming space.
Prior to her move to Scotland she ran the Amida Newcastle sangha for 13 years and was Buddhist Chaplain at Newcastle and Northumbria Universities.
Acharya Sujatin is available to act as celebrant for ceremonies such as: weddings, partnership blessings, baby namings, funerals, memorials, house blessings. All ceremonies are individually crafted to suit the circumstances and the wishes of those involved and can be fully Buddhist, conducted with celebrants of other religions or spiritual but not overtly Buddhist.
"Please come along to our sangha meetings, find out what we do, make
friends as we support each other in our spiritual journeys."
NB Update 3rd March 2020
Due to the rapidly evolving Coronavirus situation, face to face meetings are inadvisable, so we will not be offering them for some months. Updated information will be sent out via googlegroup and newsletter.
In the interim, we will offer occasional on-line meetings via Zoom, which will be advertised by newsletter.
