Not About Being Good - a practical guide to Buddhist Ethics
A new series of talks and discussion starting on Wednedsday 25 October
|
Not About Being Good is the intriguing title of a seminal book by Dharmacharini Subhadramati, who will be coming to talk to us as a special guest on 25 October to introduce a six week series on the fundamentals of the radical practice of Buddhist Ethics - the basis on which we can live and transform our lives in the everyday world through our actions of body, speech and mind. Although you will get the most from this if you can come for the whole series, each week we will explore a different ethical precept, so please come along anyway. The book will form the basis of our discussions. For more information see our Weekly Programme page |

Our Sangha meets every Wednesday at Willicombe Park. Arrival time is 7.15 pm in order to allow for a prompt start at 7.30 pm. The meetings finish around 9.30pm.
