Sangha night

The Bodhisattva Ideal

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: What is a Bodhisattva?

Tonight we start a new series on something called the 'Bodhisattva Ideal'. The term 'Bodhisattva' is one you will probably hear used often around the Buddhist Centre in different contexts. What are these mysterious beings, and what is their significance is for our Buddhist practice?

This evening we are delighted to have Shraddika talk to us about the emergence of the Bodhisattva relatively early in Buddhist thought, what it was a response to, and how the very idea can give us inspiration in many different aspects of the spiritual path.

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.
