Sangha night

Developing a positive perspective

Community pictures

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: The Brahma Viharas

This is the second part of a mini-series on all things positive. Tonight Karunajoti will talk about the Brahma Viharas (or "sublime abodes"). These are practices in which we can refine the positivity we have to include not just metta (loving kindness), but also mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion) and upeksha (equanimity).

Join us as we investigate these wonderful abodes, with a view to living in them more fully.

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 practised within other traditions.
