SUMMARY:Dharma Night
DESCRIPTION:Dharma Night: The Buddha's teachings for everyone\n\nLiberating
  Gems from the Pali Canon\nwith Balajit and friends\nThe Pali Canon is a t
 ried and tested treasure chest of teachings to purify our hearts and trans
 form human suffering into inconceivable freedom. In this series\, we will 
 pick some of the brightest gems from this vast collection of  over 2000 i
 ndividual teachings. Each night\, through a range of speakers\, we  will
   explore a different text\, in a practical and pragmatic way\, to see 
 how it  can bring a liberating light into our lives today\, 2000 years af
 ter they were first written down.\n\n24 April: Seeing Things As They Reall
 y Are - Awakening into Abundance \nWith Balajit\n \nOn this opening nigh
 t of the series\, we will be drawing from the very first teaching the budd
 ha gave - the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta: Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in
  Motion. Here the buddha proclaims the essentials of  what it is we need 
 to move away from\, and what we need to move towards\, to liberate ourselv
 es from  mental and emotional anguish and discover the limitless\, boundl
 ess qualities of the awakening heart. This text really gets to the heart o
 f the buddhist path. On the night we will be hearing from the sutta\, and 
 exploring how we can respond to its teachings in our meditation and everyd
 ay lives.\n \n\n______________\n\nEvery 7 weeks there will be a new theme
 \, along with pujas and guest speakers. Each session is stand alone\, so y
 ou don't have to come to every one in the series.\n\nNo need to book. No c
 harge – please make a donation.\n\nDharma night runs from 7:15 - 9:15pm
  every Thursday evening. Doors open at 7pm for a chance to chat and have t
 ea before hand. Open to anyone who is familiar with the mindfulness of bre
 athing and metta bhavana meditations.
