Sangha night

Building up to the Centre Opening

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 Mandala?

We start a new series this week, as we build up to returning to our wonderfully renovated centre early in August. The theme of our return is "moving into the Mandala of the five Jinas" and we are going to spend some time exploring what this means.

Tonight Sthiraratna will be exploring what a mandala is. You might know it as an art form, but is much much more than that, and, amongst other things, can be used as a tool in our own lives to check out what we are investing time in, and what might be missing.

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.
