Our Buddhist Practice Group (BPG) of Farmington used to serve Avon,
Burlington, Simsbury, West Hartford, Plainville and New Hartford areas. We were an affiliated community
of the Buddhist Faith Fellowship of Connecticut and founded in the year 2005.
A PLACE FOR FELLOWSHIP We offer a caring, spiritual and open environment that naturally
creates healthy relationships between the members of our spiritual family. With our regular gatherings, practice groups, social
events, etc. there is a place for you too.
A PLACE FOR LEARNING We are engaged in the study of the whole of Buddhism but place more
focus on Shin Buddhism, which is designed for ordinary working people with busy schedules.
A
PLACE FOR PRACTICE Every gathering is an occasion for spiritual refreshment full of blessings and inspiration.
Our primary reason for meeting together is to practice the dharma, and to awaken to the Oneness of reality.
Our
meetings Include discussion, voice meditation, fellowship and refreshments. Linda and her husband want
you to know that they have two very well-behaved dogs & cats (for those who are allergic).
