Dharma Night: The Buddha’s teachings for everyone
Week 2 : Entering the river of the Dharma: Gazing at the tree of refuge and respect
Hosted by Dharmashalin
18 July – 29 August
An image can speak to us more deeply than an idea or concept. In this series we’ll be evoking the stream of energy flowing through the Buddha towards us and the vast imaginal space beyond him by exploring the Tree of refuge and respect. This depicts a lineage of knowledge and insight through Sangharakshita, some of his main teachers and prominent figures in Buddhist history, and a more mythical realm of Bodhisattvas. The series will finish marking the more human steps we can take on the Buddhist journey exploring the significance of Ordination and celebrating more Mitra Ceremonies.

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