Living lightly with Arthavadin
Four doorways to a simpler, happier life
On Monday 21 November, Arthavadin will share four doorways to living a simpler and happier life in this ever-changing and sometimes painful world.
A day of discussion and practice. Lunch will be provided. Bookings essential.
After a long absence (thanks Covid!) Arthavadin - the president of Sudarshanaloka, Lotus Realm and Thames Buddhist Centre - is back with us from the UK. He’s just led a delightfully simple yet deep weekend on the art of stopping in the spiritual life at the ABC. And now we have a range of ways to meet up, practice and hang out together at Sudarshanaloka the week of 21-26 November.
You can come to one, a few or all of these activities, but please book separately on the events for each day. You'll need to book at least 24 hours in advance.

Cost

Please also bring koha (which will go towards Arthavadin's travel costs)
Caring for each other's health
