Buddhafield 2010 Theme: “A Force for Good in the World”

This year we celebrate the origin of our name, Buddhafield.

A buddhafield is a place where people grow, where we choose to create another kind of world, where we have everything we need, and from where we extend a hand to all beings.

How is a buddhafield built? A buddhafield only arises if people want it to. It is created when a group of people commit themselves to working towards enlightenment. They do this for their own benefit, and the benefit of all beings in their sphere of influence — this is known as the Bodhisattva Ideal, a force for good in the world.

Buddhafield: Buddhism, meditation and community

Buddhafield is a collective of Buddhists involved with the Triratna Buddhist Community: some of us are members of the Triratna Buddhist Order. We live all over the UK, but we run a programme of camping activities in the South West of England, focused around the teaching and practise of Buddhism and Buddhist meditation. We are perhaps best known for organising our own Festival and for the Buddhafield Café, which goes to festivals and fairs like Glastonbury, Sunrise and Out of the Ordinary. As well as this, we run an annual programme of meditation retreat camps and we cultivate on our own land.
