I always feel so much better after a visit to your Buddhist centre.
Thank you I love the half day retreats and the Monday sessions in Billericay too.
It keeps me on the right path.
Thank you. X

This was my 1st time at a retreat and what a wonderful experience. The people were all so lovely as was the venue. I will definitely be going again and be using my meditation skills that I was taught .

Valuable use of time, with friendly environment, insightful guidance and peaceful location.
Our first visit to DDKBC Epping and we left enriched by the morning. Thanks everyone.

I brought 3 family members along to teacher, Ai Peng's, Relax & Recharge Meditation Retreat. We all thoroughly enjoyed the teachings and meditations expertly delivered with Ai Peng's sound knowledge and trademark humour.

It has changed my life so much in such a positive way. I miss the weekly sessions when it’s holiday time.!! Rob is a fantastic teacher and explains everything so well and doesn’t mind any questions we throw at him

I only really went because a friend invited me along to join her and they have made such a positive impact on my life. When I first started it was simply to help calm my mind, but they offer so much more in the way of remaining peaceful, especially at work. Would definitely recommend it! read less

I am always amazed he remembers the names of everyone, especially as I am unable to attend every week. It is a retreat from the noise of everyday life. The teachings are easily followed and Steve's voice is calm and soothing. I don't remember everything because I tend to go into a zone, but just knowing that the aim is a calm and peaceful mind is enough. It is an important part of my week and a place of safety. read less

Really enjoyed the class, so, sad I am ill this week, so will miss out on week 2.
Our class teacher talked us through releasing negative thoughts. I felt relaxed and comfortable. Looking forward to my next session.

I had a lovely day at the meditation retreat, I was able to meet some lovely people who also wanted to have a couples of hours away from our busy life’s to reset, and reflect.
I would love to come back sometime. Thank you.

I’ve been visiting this centre for many years now. To say the teachings are life-changing is a huge understatement! Practical advice on dealing with every day problems, all given in a clear and relatable way.

We attended the teaching 'Dealing with Loss and Change'. It was a wonderful, meaningful experience on death, and one that we will remember and treasure always.
