Originally scheduled last year, this talk was sadly postponed. We are very pleased to now be able to host Tārānīta this evening!

Why is Buddhist practice hard? Why are we not already Enlightened?

During this evening, Tārānīta explores how so much of our behaviour and perceptions are based on our biological inheritance, which means that front-and-centre are survival and procreation – or protecting one’s ‘self’ and sex.

No wonder when trying to practice as Buddhists it can feel as if we’re ‘going against the stream’. Come along and discover the ways that evolution tricks us, and how we can turn it to our own advantage.
