Buddhafield Festival
2013

This year Buddhafield
will be basing its

of A Fire in the Heart.
Get involved: bring
something red to wear
during our public rituals!
Find out more
about why the Buddhist
practice of loving
kindness can help us
discover the radiant,
joyful heart within each
of us.
The Buddhafield Festival
is held on a beautiful
site in the Blackdown Hills
Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (AONB), about 7 miles South of
Taunton, at
Culmhead.
We offer a full programme
of activities, including
the teaching, discussion
and study of Buddhism and
meditation
in the Dharma Parlour and
Meditation Space. If
it’s relaxation
you’re looking for,
take your ease in one a
number of vegan and vegetarian
cafés, whilst waiting for one
of our extensive range of workshops
to start. There’s a
full performance
programme of music and
cabaret. We have a set of
specialist Areas and Spaces
including Permaculture,
Social Change,
Women’s Space and a terrific
Kids Area. Amongst the
delights of healing and bodywork
on offer, you could learn
or practise Yoga, Tai Chi,
Chi Gung, book a massage
or investigate a one of
the dozens of other
treatments.
The testimonials
page has a selection of
recent feedback and
reviews. There’s
also a list of photographs
and videos.
Get into the Spirit ...
but Leave the Spirits at
Home
Buddhism is about getting
out of our head. Into the
body. Into the abundance
of the present moment.
Away from stale thought
loops that regret the past
or worry about the future;
away from a dulled, dumbed
down experience; away from
avoiding parts of
ourselves, into the full
vividness and beauty of
now.
In the Buddhist ethical
trainings, this
“mindfulness clear
and radient is
supported” by
“abstaining from
intoxicants” that
could cloud the mind. for
many it is a big part of
why they come; for those
in recovery, not being
around drugs and alcohol
is crucial. Please help us
retain the uniqueness of
the collective creation
that is Buddhafield by
entering into the spirit
of this aspect of the
Festival.
Our peacekeeping team
will be trained to
challenge people publicly
not respecting our
request, but please
don’t wait for them:
challenge anyone you see
drinking or smoking to
explain how their
awareness is more clear
and present with
their drug of choice than
without.
