Dharma Monday

Difficult Truths about the Dharma Life

Buddhism isn't the 'nice' religion that it's often portrayed to be. The Buddha exhorts us to wake up to Reality and that means facing some difficult Truths. If we have relaxed into a comfortable Dharma life then we're probably still asleep! During this evening's talk Arthavadin will present the Dharma as an exciting but provocative challenge. Are we up for it?


This evening starts in the shrine room and ends around 8:15pm. After that, you are welcome to stay for a cup of tea, ask further questions, talk about Buddhism, and meet others attending the class.

Although Dharma Night is suitable for everyone, regardless of their level of experience or exposure to Buddhism, if you like what you find we recommend that you sign up for one of our introductory Buddhist meditation courses. These courses provide a systematic introduction to Buddhist meditation practise and are really the best first step if you feel like exploring more.
