The main practice at The Buddhist House is the recitation of Namo Amida Bu.
In addition to our daily services, Sunday Services and in-house seminars about practice and training we have a range of other courses and activities which we invite you to join.
This service includes the main practices for a Pureland Buddhist; starting with our primary practice - Chanting Namo Amida Bu to the beat of a mokoju, then reciting the Tan Butsu Ge, doing prostration and making water offerings, reciting refuges and precepts, followed by walking, then sitting nembutsu, finishing with a Dharma talk and offering incense. After the service there is a vegetarian potluck supper. This is a great time for fellowship and getting to know each other better. The services will be led by lay and ordained members of Amida-shu.
The Bodhi Retreat is the most important event of our year. It is the culmination of the autumn Ango (three month training period) in the week leading up to Enlightenment Day which is 8th december. For full details see Amida Events: Bodhi Retreat
