So often, life just doesn’t match up to our expectations or do what we want it to do. Consequently, we end up feeling frustrated, dissatisfied, or overwhelmed with life. During this four week Dharma Monday theme we will be exploring the three characteristics of human existence as taught by the Buddha and what this means as a practical application in our lives.
Come and find out how this teaching can liberate us from the the rounds of conditioned existence.
A glimpse of the escape hatch
The first evening will give an overview of these three characteristics (lakshanas), an introduction to the topsy turvy views that contribute to our suffering and a glimpse of the escape hatch.
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.
