What's on in Blatchington, West

East Sussex, England

Blatchington sits quietly in East Sussex, a place where the tea is always hot and the news is usually about the weather. We know exactly which pubs have the best ales and where you can catch a band without needing to book a ticket months in advance. The village hall hosts those occasional craft fairs that make your local shopkeepers look rather pleased with themselves. It is rare to find a spot this peaceful where families still wander down for a Sunday stroll, yet there is always activity just around the corner. Near Here keeps track of everything from quiz nights to community gatherings so you never miss a thing. You can relax knowing that whatever day it is, someone in Blatchington has something interesting planned.

Triratna Day Festival

In April 1967 Urgyen Sangharakshita founded what has become the Triratna Buddhist Community. Today we are a contemporary international Buddhist movement, firmly established in traditional yet hugely relevant Buddhist Teaching. Now more than ever practising the Buddha’s teachings on Compassion and Wisdom seem compelling, even urgent. Join us as we celebrate the founding of our Buddhist movement. Our day will focus on Practice for Peace in our World. We will include periods of meditation, ritual and reflection. There will also be space to practise gratitude that we have inherited an effective context in which we can make a difference. Join Maitridarshin, Akasati, Sthanashrada, Shuddhadhara and the Team for all or part of the day. The Day’s Programme: 10.30am Doors open 11am to 1.00pm – a morning of meditation, reflection and discussion, including a talk from Akasati: WORLD GONE MAD: What can Buddhists offer? How relevant is Buddhist practice, in the midst of global chaos? Can cultivating awareness and ethics have a ripple effect on the world? Taking in Buddhist teachings and contemporary thinkers, Akasati explores what Triratna Buddhists have to offer. 1pm A festival lunch – please bring vegetarian / vegan food to share together (labelled please). 2.15pm to 4pm – an afternoon of ritual, devotion and puja All welcome, no need to book, by donation
