Sangha Night

Buddhist meditation workshop

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.

Meditation workshop
Moving into absorption: How do we progress to a deeper state of mind in our meditation practice? One way is to become more alert to when our mind is drifting. If you don’t feel as if you experience much absorption in meditation or outside of meditation, what conditions might be preventing that? What can you do about those conditions? Come along to Sangha night and we can help you to find ways to go deeper in your meditation. Study material for tonight's session is below.

Vajrasarasi and the team will lead the group meditation practice. Afterwards you’ll split into small groups to explore ways you can work with your mind to enhance this practice. This week we are going more deeply into the mindfulness of breathing and its purpose, how can we develop more integration and absorption in our meditation practise and our lives?

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.
