About

Buddhafield East are part of the Triratna Buddhist community (formerly the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order), which was founded in 1968 by Ven. Urgyen Sangharakshita.
 
The original Buddhafield retreats grew out of an initiative by members of the Croydon Triratna Sangha to teach meditation at the Glastonbury festival.
Buddhafield has gone from strength to strength since then and now hosts a full program of retreats, a 3000 capacity festival and takes meditation teaching, plus a cafe, to several festivals.

The first Buddhafield East camping event took place near Sudbury in Autumn 2003 and the first Buddhafield East Summer Gathering followed in August 2004.

Buddhafield East have held events every year since then and are always seeking to extend what we do and to extend the positive sphere of influence that our events create.

Buddhafield East community's intention is to create a positive & radical sphere of influence from our events and in this way help to transform oneself and society.
