the tree of life sangha - welcome!

We are a Buddhist group, based in Perth, Scotland.

We practise mindfulness and ethical living in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.

We currently meet online.

 

Thich Nhat Hanh was a global spiritual leader, poet and peace activist, revered throughout the world for his powerful teachings and bestselling writings on mindfulness and peace.

His key teaching is that, through mindfulness, we can learn to live happily in the present moment—the only way to truly develop peace, both in one’s self and in the world.

 

It is difficult if not impossible to practise the way of understanding and love without a sangha, a community of friends who practise the same way — Thich Nhat Hanh

 

We offer simple practices, including

  • guided mindfulness meditation, guided loving-kindness (metta) meditation, sitting, and walking meditation.

 

We focus on 

  • the unconditional love of the Buddha
  • our own Buddha-nature and our human nature
  • the Earth and all living things
  •  friendship and mutual support

 

 
 
Our sangha was renamed The Tree of Life in January 2021.
 
We are affiliated with The Community of Interbeing (COI)

“Two thousand five hundred years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha proclaimed that the next Buddha will be named Maitreya, the ‘Buddha of Love.’ I think Maitreya Buddha may be a COMMUNITY and not just an individual. A good community is needed to help us resist the unwholesome ways of our time. Mindful living protects us and helps us go in the direction of peace. With the support of friends in the practice, peace has a chance.”


~Thich Nhat Hanh

 
"Let us invite you to join our sangha meetings,
to find out what we do
and to make friends
as we support each other on our spiritual journeys."
