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.

Two Recent Retreats on the Island
In the last couple of weeks both ourselves over here at the West Wight Sangha and our friends at the Newport Soto Zen group have held meditation retreat days. The audio materials used can be found at "Winter Retreat 2014", for our own retreat and for the Newport group at "Five Talks by John Peacock" on our Audio Section.
The two talks for the Newport retreat are "The Brahma Viharas" by John Peacock and "Acceptance" by Reverend Master Daishin Morgan who is Abbot of Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey which is located in a remote moorland area of Northumberland.
