Sangha night

System of Practice

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: Positive Emotion

The System of Practice is a model, designed by our founder Sangharakshita, that describes what he believed are the essential processes we need work on in order to develop in our spiritual lives, and what Buddhist practices they generally correlate with.

This is the third evening in our series on the System of Practice, and tonight we welcome Guhyasiddhi who will talk to us about Positive Emotion. What did Sangharakshita mean by Positive Emotion, how does it help, how do we develop it, and how do we recognise it working in our lives.

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.
