Sangha night

A beautiful life

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: natural vs conventional morality

On night six of this 'A Beautiful Life' series on the ins and outs of Buddhist ethical practice, Vasudhara joins us for a session on the third precept. How should we make sense of 'abstaining from sexual misconduct' in the modern world? The third ethical training precept is not about old-fashioned Victorian morality, so what is it about?

During this series, we'll also invite you to try one simple practice at home each week, to help you reflect on and understand teachings on ethics more directly in your lived experience.

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.
