The Matlock Serene Reflection Meditation Group is affiliated to The Order of
Buddhist Contemplatives. The Order is dedicated to the practice of the Serene
Reflection Meditation or Soto Zen tradition. The Order was established by Rev.
Master Jiyu-Kennett to serve as the international umbrella organization for the
monasteries, priories (local temples), and meditation groups led by priests of
our lineage in Britain, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States.
The group has strong connections with Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey, a Soto Zen
Buddhist monastery and retreat centre established in 1972 and situated in
Northumberland. Its Abbot is Rev. Master Daishin Morgan. Throssel Hole has now
trained many priests and runs retreats for laity throughout the year. Rev.

contact with the Sheffield Serene Reflection Meditation Group and frequently
attend the retreats held in Sheffield.
