Discover how to make your life happy and Meaningful
Welcome to Langri Tangpa Centre!
We are a teaching and meditation centre in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. We provide a friendly and supportive environment for learning and putting into practice the teachings of the Buddha. There is no need, or expectation, to be a Buddhist to benefit. LTC is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers, dedicated to Kindness, Compassion and clarity, and affiliated with the FPMT.

All our classes are by donation (excluding yoga). You can make your contribution online or in person on the day.

Week of Events
24hr Mahayana Precepts (PRACTICE ALONG)
Make your life highly meaningful, and so easily, and with only small hardships, collect a great deal of merit. Precepts days are powerful. By taking the Eight Mahayana Precepts for a day, every meritorious act you do on this day is greatly multiplied. It also guards you from creating any new negative karma - which also would be multiplied! (PRACTICE ALONG at your preferred time with a pre-recorded puja)
Cittamani Tara Puja (PRACTICE ALONG)
Arya Tara is the manifestation of the buddha's compassionate activity, and this ceremony is particularly helpful in removing obstacles, receiving help in emergencies, resolving conflicts and energising spiritual practice. (PRACTICE ALONG at your preferred time with a pre-recorded puja)
