UK - High Hurstwood - Buddhists in silent meditation

Buddhists meditate in silence for 30 minutes in their Shrine Room at the Rivendell Buddhist Retreat Centre, England. A middle-aged man and a younger woman sit in a meditative cross-legged position in order to relax their bodies and free their minds for this period of inner-contemplation. In front of the couple is a model of their retreat centre, a house now run by the Triratna Buddhist Community. Once a Victorian country rectory for the local vicar in this East Sussex village, it now houses facilities for the spiritual and the peaceful, having escaped for a brief time, the pressures of modern life. Beyond are two Buddhas on a tapestry and as a statue. The community web address is www.rivendellretreatcentre.com.
