The Sangha is the Buddhist term for the community of people wishing to learn from the Buddha's teachings. Lalitaraja, Santva, Manjumitra, Khemananda and guest Order Members take turns to lead these evenings, practising and communicating Buddhism. A Sangha evening might include a talk, meditation, discussion, workshop, devotional practice. Open to all though most suitable for Intermediates and Regulars.

The Door - a poem by Miroslav Holub
Go and open the door.
Maybe outside there’s a tree, or a wood,
A garden, or a magic city.
Go and open the door.
Maybe a dog’s rummaging,
Maybe you’ll see a face, or an eye,
or the picture of a picture.
Go and open the door.
If there’s a fog it will clear.
Go and open the door.
Even if there’s only the darkness ticking,
Even if there’s only the hollow wind,
Even if nothing is there, go and open the door.
At least there’ll be a draught.
