Meditation Classes
in Lancaster
When life becomes
difficult, sometimes
we need a place to stop.
Life can be demanding. Sometimes we find ourselves struggling with stress, anxiety, sadness, grief or simply the feeling that something in our lives isn’t quite right.
Sometimes we need somewhere quiet. Somewhere we can put things down for a little while and breathe.
At Anteiji, we offer a welcoming place to explore meditation in Lancaster. Through the ancient practice of Zen Buddhism, we learn to become still, to understand ourselves more deeply and to meet life with greater clarity, compassion and wisdom.
You are welcome just as you are.
New to Meditation? You Are Welcome
You don’t need to know anything about Buddhism. You don’t need to have meditated before, and you don’t need to change anything about yourself before coming along.
Many people arrive at meditation because they are curious. Some are looking for a little peace in a busy life. Others are searching for something they cannot quite put into words.
Whatever brings you here, you are welcome.
Our teachers will help you understand the practice, and you can begin at your own pace. Every one of our weekly classes is suitable for beginners. There is no expectation and no need to get anything right.
Come and Sit With Us
The best way to understand meditation is simply to experience it.
You are welcome to join any of our weekly classes. If you have questions or would like to speak with someone before attending, please get in touch.
The kettle is on.

About Antei-ji
Anteiji is an independent, non-sectarian Zen Buddhist temple and community in Lancaster. We have been practising together since 2014.
Our purpose is to preserve and share the heart of Zen Buddhism through genuine practice, committed training and compassionate service.
We follow the ancient tradition of the Buddha, practising zazen, walking meditation and the cultivation of wisdom and compassion.
We are not a commercial meditation centre. We are a Buddhist temple and a living community of practice. Our doors are open to anyone who wishes to explore the Buddha Way.
