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 is a Buddhist symbol on the perspective of the human situation, the process of reactive conditionality. It is a combined map and users manual to samsara. Tonight we are returning to the central hub of the wheel. The "three poisons" represent the fundamental afflictive emotions—ignorance, attachment, and aversion—that act as the core engine driving the Wheel of Life (Bhavacakra). They are the root cause of all human suffering and the primary forces that keep sentient beings trapped in the endless cycle of rebirth and dissatisfaction (samsara).

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.
