Sangha Night

Why I am a Buddhist?

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.

Why I am a Buddhist
Sangha members Claire and Matthew are two mitras who are training for ordination.
They will talk about how and why they came to be Triratna Buddhists, sharing their
personal experiences of the path that led them to Buddhism, and the flavour of their
individual Dharma journeys since then. Listening to personal stories about striving to
live a Buddhist life can often be inspiring, uplifting . . . and potentially life-changing. If
others find that following Buddhist teachings improves their life, maybe you, too, will
be encouraged to give it a go.

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.
