Sangha Night

Conditionality: the three Laksanas and the doorway to liberation.

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.

Conditionality – Introduction to the three Laksanas and the doorway to liberation
Conditioned reality (or Samsara) refers to the everyday world of cause and effect, in
which everything is temporary, interconnected, and constantly changing. In essence,
it means that all phenomena arises in dependence on other causes and conditions.
Vimoksajyoti will introduce this topic and discuss how the three Laksanas – Anicca
(Impermanence), Dukkha (Unsatisfactoriness/suffering), and Anatta (Non-self),
represent the three marks of existence that define all conditioned reality. Through
practising ethics, mindfulness, meditation, and study, we can transform our lives .
This will gradually minimise the cycle of conditioned suffering, and move us towards
the freedom of the Unconditioned.

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.
