Dharma Monday

The practise of Buddhist reflection

We are continuing to look at the practical application of Buddhist practise to daily life. Building on what we learned on previous Mondays, but also welcoming anyone new wanting to start learning about Buddhism.

There are many doorways into Buddhism. This week we will look at one of the wisdom doorways, including study and reflection. Do you want to see how you trip yourself up? Do you want to make wiser decisions? Do you want to develop deeper insights into your life, other people, the human situation, and live in a more meaningful way? To do this we must take our understanding of words, concepts and phrases deeper. We must go beyond giving them lip service in a superficial way.

Attending these Monday nights each week is one way to help ourselves explore Buddhism 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 a little after 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.
