What's on...
Zoom Monday Night Sangha
Online Every Monday 7.00 - 9.00pm. For regulars.
Theme continuing until July: Transforming Self and World.
The path of meditation and Buddhism is about change: how we can change for the good, and how we can also change the world for the good. Practically, how do we do this, and how do we avoid the pitfalls? Come along and find out.
We'll be looking at the Six Pāramitās of the Bodhisattva Path: Generosity/Dāna, Ethics/Śīla, Patience/Kṣānti, Energy/Vīrya, Meditation/Dhyāna and Wisdom/Prajñā.
Sessions will run every week, but the main input will be fortnightly, with the following week recapping on the main teaching and giving more space for practice and exploration of that area.
19th July Personal Talks by members of the Sangha.
Then fortnightly meetings on 2nd, 16th & 30th August, 13th & 27th September.
The last 30 minutes is always meditation, with the option to leave at 8.30.

What did the Buddha say about... views and opinions?
What happens when we meet someone who has totally different opinions to us? Or when we encounter others’ views on social media, or the news? How do we stay true to our values and what's important to us without demonising those we disagree with?
Booking essential. Max 14 places. To book a place please email with 'August Tree' in the subject line.
