Dharma Monday

Exploring the system of practice - spiritual rebirth

buddha face

The story of spiritual rebirth has to be told in visionary, symbolic terms, not through ideas. We enter a world of meaning and mystery, insight and magic. Over the course of three Monday evenings we will explore this world through three key themes:

  • Look Up and Set Your Goal
  • Look Outwards and Connect
  • Wake Up and Imagine Greatly

This first Monday we will explore the system of spiritual practice through ‘Look Up and Set Your Goal’. What will it take to get us to look up and see that there could be more to our life? What is it we look up to? Beyond our mundane world there is a world of deeper meaning and mystery.

For most people, the biggest hurdle to regular practice is commitment. Attending these Monday nights each week is one way to help ourselves develop such motivation through personal experience and the support of other like-minded people. These Monday nights will also provide us with a 'box of tools' capable of changing our life for the better.

The evening starts in the shrine room and ends around 8pm. After that, you are welcome to then stay for a cup of tea, ask further questions, talk about Buddhism, and meet like-minded people.

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.
