2011 Calendar
THURSDAY NIGHT PROGRAM
Term 4 commences on Thursday October 6th following a 2 week break for school holidays.
The Thursday evening program now has a calm abiding meditation (including Manjushri speech blessing) every week followed by a selected practice and / or a discussion of a Dharma topic. This allows those who are mainly interested in the meditation to be guaranteed of the practice and may leave early or stay for the extended practice. This extended practice includes meditation, prayers, mantras, study and discussion on a particular topic. For Buddhist teachings to really assist one and to have an impact on the mind one must study, meditate and contemplate. This is the aim of the Thursday evening meetings.
Dates for Term 4 are as follows:
October 27th; November 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th; December 1st, 8th, and 15th being the last night for 2011
