Sangha night

Love mode, power mode

Come along for Sangha Night, an opportunity to deepen on 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: love mode vs power mode as a fundamental guide

On night 2 of this 'A Beautiful Life' series on the ins and outs of Buddhist ethical practice, Sthiraratna talks on the basic principle underpinning ethical living: love mode vs power mode. We'll also talk about what that word "purify" means when we say things like "with deeds of loving-kindness, I purify my body".

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.
