Regular classes and one-off events exploring Buddhist practice
Wed PRACTICE Night:
Moving Towards a More Skilful Life.
From 7th January for six weeks - 7.00pm to 9.15pm
In the Christian tradition ethics are viewed as commandments and you are often judged ‘good’ or ‘bad’ depending on your adherence to them, or
not. In Buddhism, behaviour is not viewed as good or bad but skilful or unskilful. Buddhist ethics is more about our natural inclination to act in a way that is beneficial for ourselves and others. We understand that if we can act skilfully then this will have a positive and helpful effect on our lives, our mental states and the people around us.
Open to all over 18 - You don’t need to be a Buddhist or intend to be one No need to book - just turn up when you can
Thursday DAYTIME Class: The Path to True Contentment
Every Thursday from 8th January - 11.00am to 1.15pm
This is a wide-ranging, practical and fascinating exploration of the Buddha’s teaching over eight months which you can fit into your normal week. It will give you a solid basis for living your life in a spirit of peace and harmony with others. This is a drop-in course looking at Buddhist Practice mostly in the context of how we approach it in the Triratna Community.
We are a contemporary tradition founded by an Englishman in 1968 so our approach is very accessible for people in the West. You don’t need to become a Buddhist or want to be one. Each week will begin with a guided meditation.
