The Samatha Trust teaches within the Theravada Buddhist tradition (generally found in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Burma), and is a lay group which in Cambridge dates back to 1963.  It teaches a traditional Thai samatha-vipassana (calm and insight) breathing meditation as the core practice.  The University class meets on Thursdays during term at 7.30pm, in the Godwin Room, Old Court, Clare College.  There is also a Town class which meets weekly, 8.30pm, on Mondays at the Friends' Meeting House, Jesus Lane. In both classes, the meditation technique is taught systematically over a period of some months, together with some basic theory about meditation. The classes are open to all and people are welcome to join at any time.   Please bring a cushion.

We practice Serene Reflection Meditation which is in the Soto Zen tradition of Buddhism. We're affiliated to Order of Buddhist Contemplatives which has a monastery (Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey) and a number of priories and meditation groups. We meet to meditate and support each other in our practice. Newcomers welcome.
