Sangha Night | Tue 7:30pm

Now, more than ever, we need to cultivate and strengthen our Dharma practice so that we can respond with resilience and creativity to whatever life brings. At Sangha Night this year, we are offering a whole variety of ways of building a sustainable practice using as a foundation and reference point one of the most tested and flexible sets of tools the Buddha gave us. These are the Five Spiritual Faculties – faith, energy, mindfulness, meditation and wisdom.

Sangharakshita wrote that with these five faculties we can grasp “all the moral and spiritual conditions necessary to the attainment of Enlightenment.” They are powerful tools which can be approached from many different angles. Back in 2008 he correlated them with the mandala of the five Buddhas and Buddhist Centre activities.
