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.
As we continue our investigation of the Bodhisattva Ideal, we have the second talk of two on individual Bodhisattva examples. And these are what we might call archetypal Bodhisattvas, because they represent a quality that all Bodhisattvas have - in tonight's case, compassion.
This evening Karunajoti will share her reflections on Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Not just any old compassion - infinite compassion. or karuna. Come along and hear Karunajoti talk on a subject close to her heart.
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.
By donation (suggested $15). (Cash or EFTPOS)
Nothing to spare tonight? Come along anyway. You’re always welcome.
Before attending, please read our current Covid Guidelines. This is part of how we practice together.
