People of Colour Retreat Day
This event has already happened.
‘Just as the mighty ocean has but one taste, the taste of salt,
So too has my teaching but one taste… the taste of freedom.‘
-The Buddha
How does the Buddha’s teaching on freedom relate to us as people of colour?
The Bristol day retreat is a unique opportunity to come together and explore the path to liberation through Buddhist meditation practices, discussions, and chanting.
Come along and join us whether you’ve meditated before or its your first time.
With Amaragita and Maitrinita.
Please bring vegan or vegetarian lunch to share. By donation on the day.
Booking essential – email info@bristol-buddhist-centre.org
