    Sangha Night - 4 Noble Truths Course

    We will be looking at the Four Noble Truths. This is a teaching the Buddha often emphasised. There is suffering and un- satisfactoriness in life – what is the cause of this? Is there a way beyond this, and if so, how? We will be exploring this over four Sangha Nights; each evening will include meditation, input and discussion.

    Led by Manjurava, Kamalavajra and Prajnamati.
