The EMBA / Leicester Buddhist Vihara is a Buddhist religious organisation established in 1987 and is registered as a charity under the Charity Commission for England and Wales as a non-profit charity.
Charity Commission Registration No. 519860


The Leicester Buddhist Vihara is a Buddhist temple ( A Buddhist Place of worship) and one of the leading centres of Buddhism in Leicester in the UK.  We provide help, advice, teaching and training to the Buddhist community and those with an interest in Buddhism and meditation. 

The EMBA was first established in May 1987, thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of a very small group of individuals. Lots of effort was put in over the years since 1987 by quite a few dedicated members and well-wishers to achieve this sustained progress.

At this hour, your contribution is most precious for us to propagate Buddhist philosophy and to support the most needed religious relief for its devotees.

Please be kind enough to make your contribution today. Tomorrow may be too late. May the Triple Gem Bless you and your loved ones for a happy, healthy and safe future.
