Buddhists Talking about Racism 4: What now, what next? Led by Santva

This will be the fourth Sangha Night in the series 'Buddhists Talking about Racism'. After a brief recap Santva will reflect on recent experience, conversations, and reading, referring to Emma Dabiri's book, 'What white people can do next: from allyship to coalition'.

There will also be meditation and discussion.

“Our passion for categorisation, life neatly fitted into pegs, has led to an unforeseen paradoxical distress; confusion, a breakdown of meaning. Those categories, which were meant to define and control the world for us, have boomeranged us into chaos.”

James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son

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 it is helpful if you have had an introduction to the Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana meditation practices).

We meet in person at the Centre on the fourth Monday of each month, and on zoom on the second Monday.
