The West Wight is the Western side of the Isle of Wight, situated off the Southern coast of England. There is a thriving Buddhist community on the Island made up of a number of different groups. The West Wight group, or Sangha, is non-denominational and meets weekly to meditate and discuss the Dharma, the Buddha's teachings.

A "Different" Thought for the Day
I have just posted Wednesday's "Thought for the Day" in our Audio Section. It is by Oliver McTernan who is Co-Founder and Director of Forward Thinking an NGO which is dedicated to empowering individuals and grassroots communities across the UK. The talk comes from a Christian perspective but if you drop the Jesuit reference and ignore the "god given" statement it is directly relevant to Mindfulness practice and Present Moment Awareness. There is also a part that directly translates as being the equivalent of the five Hindrances.
