Sangha Night

Buddhist meditation workshop

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

We warmly invite you to come along next week for Sangha Night. It will give you a
unique opportunity to enhance your appreciation of the Dharma, and how it relates to
your own life, as well as to practise with others.
On Sangha Nights we mostly meditate together, then listen to a 20-30 minute
presentation from a member of our community. Following this, we usually divide into
small groups for a 20-minute discussion on the evening’s theme.

Meditation workshop
Mindfulness of breathing workshop
The Mindfulness of Breathing (anapanasati) is a four-stage meditation practice designed to still your busy mind and bring together your scattered energies. It anchors your attention in the present moment. This practice functions as an essential integration practice to balance an active daily life.

Vajrasarasi will lead the group meditation practice. Afterwards you’ll split into small groups to explore ways you can work with your mind to enhance this practice.

Sangha Nights involve people interested in and curious about Buddhism gathering
together to celebrate community. This deepens their knowledge of Buddhism, and
their understanding of how to practise it. These evening events are specially created
for those who have been coming to the centre for a little while and are familiar with
meditation. If your contact with us has been minimal, then we recommend that you
attend our Intro course first – even if you have previously practised within other
traditions.
