The Six Perfections: The way beyond self and other

Yellow Buddha

Buddhism asserts that it is possible to live a much more fulfilling, happier and meaningful life than the average person does. This is what draws many of us to it. However, it also teaches that a spiritual life that is exclusively concerned with one's own personal development is ultimately self-defeating! In this series, we will be exploring the teaching of the Six Perfections. This exposition of the Buddhist Path beautifully combines the self-regarding & altruistic aspects of practice, showing a way that in the end goes beyond even this division.

In the mood of endless undistracted samadhi
Dhyana or higher states of consciousness manifest quite naturally when our minds are freed from the usual attractions, aversions and delusions we experience in our daily life..preserving our existence. Come along and hear Guhyasiddhi talk on this topic.

Dharma night is suitable for those who would like to learn more about Buddhism. It is also a popular night for regular friends to drop in and practice together. If you are a beginner but can't get to/or have just started one of our meditation classes, you are still welcome to come and join in.

The usual program for the evening is a talk on some aspect of Buddhism, tea break, then group meditation to end the evening.
