Sangha Night

This is our regulars evening and involves both meditation and Dharma exploration, with a tea break.

Meditation 

We practice two kinds of meditation - the Mindfulness of Breathing, for developing awareness, integration and clarity of mind; and the Mettā Bhāvanā (“development of loving kindness”), which brings about a gentle but radical transformation of our emotional world. Each week we alternate between the two practices.

Dharma

We introduce and explore the teachings of the Buddha in a way that is accessible and practical to everyday life in the modern world. Usually the format is a talk, followed by breaking into smaller groups for discussion. 

There's no fee for the evening, although we welcome donations either in cash on the night, or via our donations page.

Theme: 

On Thursday 10th April we will be sharing a recording of “Triratna Day 2025”, celebrating the life of the Triratna Buddhist Community founder Urgyen Sangharakshita, and the one hundredth anniversary of his birth.

Please note, due to the Autumn retreat there will be no Sangha Night on Thursday 17th April.
