Aloka Vihara is a traditional Theravada Buddhist Temple in North East England. We are a proud Buddhist society, providing religious services and aiding the development of other services, particularly in Sri Lanka, as well as within the community, irrespective of their individual religion and beliefs.
A sacred place of teaching; we focus on the practice of mindfulness through meditation and host a program monthly, designed for children, where they can develop spiritual practices and disciples by understanding cultural and traditional values.

The monastery is entirely dependent for its existence on the generosity of its lay supporters. Your donations will help us:
