Over the next few months we will exploring the Refuges and Precepts. These verses which we recite on a regular basis, something we have in common with the rest of the Buddhist world. Join us to explore just what we mean by ‘Going For Refuge’… Why is the Buddha still revered 2500 years after his death… Why are his teachings still considered so relevant? And what does it mean to be following this path in company with other Buddhists? And the ethical precepts which we take on, just why are they so important? And how does practicing ethically change our lives?
Everyone is welcome to join us for our regular Monday evening sessions, which are usually led by Satyacitta or Upayalila , sharing meditation, spiritual friendship, and discussions of the Buddha’s teachings and practice.
Chairs, Mats, cushions and beverages will be supplied.
