Sangha Night

The Tibetan wheel of life

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.

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.

The Tibetan wheel of life.
The Wheel of Life (Bhavachakra) is a symbolic, visual teaching tool in Buddhism representing the cycle of samsara—the endless, repetitive cycle of birth, death, suffering, and rebirth driven by karma and ignorance. It is commonly displayed at the entrance of Tibetan temples, often held in the claws of a monster (Yama, the lord of death), representing impermanence. Guhyasiddhi will be presenting the "12 Nidānas" form two opposing cycles of cause and effect: the Reactive Wheel (samsara) and the Progressive Spiral (nirvana or awakening).

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.
