Saṅgha Night
Sangha Night is our weekly class for those who are familiar with the practices we teach and have been attending our activities for a while. It focusses exploring ways the teachings can be taken more deeply into our lives.
The evening is usually structured in two halves. In the first half there is a meditation practice, and after a short tea break, we will explore the Dharma through 4-8 week series based around a particular theme.
Each series will end with a pūjā night and from time to time, special events such as mitra ceremonies will be held on Saṅgha Night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to join the middle of a series?
Absolutely! You'll get those most out of the class by attending the whole series, but you can come along any time.
What is pūjā?
A pūjā is a traditional Buddhist ritual that includes chanting and making offerings.
If coming on a pūjā night and you have not done it before, please let one of the team know so they can give an introduction.
How long do I need to have been coming?
This evening is best suited for those who are familiar with the practices we teach and have been attending our activities for a while. A good measure would be if you have attended an entire cycle of talks on Newcomers Night.
I can't make it to any of the introductory classes, can I come to this class instead?
Since the meditation practice is usually with minimal instruction, and the topics covered are quite in depth, this class is not well suited for newcomers.
Can I come just for the meditation?
Of course!
How much does the class cost?
We don't charge a fixed price for our classes but instead invite you to make a donation to the centre to help us cover our running costs.
A donation of $10-20 would help us to cover our costs, but everyone is equally welcome, even if you cannot give anything at all.
