Sanghaloka - Buddhist centre in Krakow

Augustiańska 4, Krakow

Warsaw - courses on meditation and buddhism

ul. Kępna 6 (intercom 145)

Welcome! This is the English version of the website of the Triratna Buddhist Community in Poland (Kraków / Cracow and Warsaw). Whether you are passing through with a backpack or live here permanently you may be surprised to come across a Buddhist centre here. You may have been curious about meditation or Buddhism for a while and may even have thought Thailand was the place to learn meditation, but Poland of all places?

We teach two basic meditation practices dating back to the time of the Buddha – the mindfulness of breathing and the metta bhavana (development of strong positive emotions towards oneself and others/all beings). More information about these practices on https://thebuddhistcentre.com/text/what-meditation and http://www.wildmind.org/  More information about Buddhism, meditation and Triratna worldwide can be found on thebuddhistcentre.com. You don’t need to be/become a Buddhist to attend our classes and you don’t need to shave your head either.

If you want to learn to meditate or learn about Buddhim…
