to join our Dharma Cafe on Saturdays at 11.15am.

A precious opportunity to connect with others and explore the Dharma together.

This week we'll be continuing our exploration of particular verses from one of the best known and loved of all Buddhist scriptures the Dhammapada.

Many people, out of fear, flee for refuge to sacred hills, woods, groves, trees and shrines.

In reality this is not a safe refuge. In reality this is not the best refuge. Fleeing to such a refuge one is not released from all suffering.

He who goes for refuge to the Enlightened One, to the Truth, and to the Spiritual Community, and who sees with perfect wisdom the Four Aryan Truths -

namely, suffering, the origin of suffering, the passing beyond suffering, and the Aryan Eightfold Way leading to the pacification of suffering -

for him this is a safe refuge, for him this is the best refuge. Having gone to such a refuge, one is released from all suffering.

Bring your coffee and join us as we explore the relevance of these ancient verses of wisdom in our everyday lives.

Both newcomers and regulars are very welcome.

Please arrive promptly as we close entry after 5 minutes or so.
