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:
Please join us on Thursday evenings as over the next five weeks we explore a series of talks on “The Eight Verses for Training the Mind” together. Considered a classic of the Lojong mind training school, Langrithangpa's pithy text bears daily reflection and can fuel a lifetime of Dharma inquiry and practice.
