They welcome everyone, whether you are just curious about meditation or looking for a way to gain control of your mind and live a life with more compassion and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe centre itself is just a little gem, and a truly authentic Tibetan Buddhist Centre right here in Bournemouth. I was so fortunate to be able to take refuge and receive the Green Tara initiation when the founding Lama, Khenpo Lekshey (who is the director of the main Sakya Monastery in India), visited this September. It was an incredible experience.<br \/>\n\u200bI would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
