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.
Yes, tonight is the first Sangha Night at our newly renovated centre. Sadhu!
So tonight's programme will, understandably, be a bit different from normal. We will still have some meditation as usual, and a chance to catch up over cup of tea and biscuits. And we'll also have the opportunity to show you all the spaces, as well as having a short dedication ceremony and testing the chanting acoustics in the beautiful new shrine room.
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.
By donation (suggested $15). (Cash or EFTPOS)
Nothing to spare tonight? Come along anyway. You’re always welcome.
Before attending, please read our current Covid Guidelines. This is part of how we practice together.
