ONLINE: Sangha Night - Celebration of Mabon, the Autumn Equinox

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).

27 Sept: Autumn Equinox Celebration & Puja with Lalitaraja

The autumnal equinox - or Mabon - occurs when the sun crosses the equator on its apparent journey southward, and we experience a day and a night that are of equal duration. It is a time to reap what you have sown in the spring, to give thanks for the harvest and the bounty the Earth provides. We will celebrate the Equinox with meditation, chanting and a puja to Amitabha. You are invited to set up some sort of shrine at home with acorns or other autumnal fruits - actual or conceptual - to offer as part of the Puja.
