Dharma Night: The Buddha’s teachings for everyone

Introducing: Shantavira – The story of my dharma life, in conversation with Maitrisara

Shantavira was ordained over 40 years ago and has spent most of his adult life working around the movement. He is someone many of you will not know, though you will have benefitted from his actions – he quietly and generously gives his time and energy in the background, here in Birmingham and in the order, and is often mentioned in the acknowledgements of many Windhorse Publication books, due to his work in editing. His name very appropriately means ‘hero of peace’.

Come along to this Dharma night to hear some peacefully heroic stories and celebrate such generosity of spirit.

(Please note – this dharma night was previously advertised as the summer soiree. Change of plan to make the most of welcoming back Akashanaga on 24/07! We will have lots of celebration then instead.)

______________

Every 7 weeks there will be a new theme, along with pujas and guest speakers. Each session is stand alone, so you don’t have to come to every one in the series.

No need to book. No charge – please make a donation.

Dharma night runs from 7:15 – 9:15pm every Thursday evening. Doors open at 7pm for a chance to chat and have tea before hand. Open to anyone who is familiar with the mindfulness of breathing and metta bhavana meditations.
