Sangha night

A beautiful life

Come along for Sangha Night, an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the Dharma, how it relates to our own lives, and practice together.

Almost anything can happen on Sangha Night, but mostly we meditate together, have a 20-30 minute presentation from someone in the community, and then have 20 minutes for small group discussion on the evening's theme.

Tonight: speaking like a Buddha

On night seven of this 'A Beautiful Life' series on the ins and outs of Buddhist ethical practice, we'll look at how we come to speak like a Buddha would. Sujiva will take us beyond the fourth ethical training precept of truthful speech, unpacking the nuances of ethical speech that enable us to become agents of truth and harmony in the world.

During this series, we'll also invite you to try one simple practice at home each week, to help you reflect on and understand teachings on ethics more directly in your lived experience.

Sangha nights are a place for people to come together and celebrate community, deepen their knowledge of Buddhism, and their understanding of how to practice it. They are designed for those who have been coming to the centre for a little while. If you have had minimal contact with us, you are best to attend our Intro course first, even if you have practiced within other traditions.
