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).

Mon 12 Oct: Ambedkar Day Festival with Sanghanath from India

This evening we will celebrate the life and work of Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956). Dr Ambedkar (also known as Babasaheb) was an Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer, who campaigned against social discrimination and led the mass Indian conversion to Buddhism. We will welcome Sanghanath, from India, who will speak about how Dr Ambedkar has influenced his life and how his work continues to improve the life of millions of Dalits today. 

Dr Ambedkar said: “Be educated, be organised, be agitated. Cultivation of the mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence. We must break the chains, once and forever. Life should be great rather than long.”
