Who
is Sangha Night for?
Sangha Night is open to practitioners of all levels. People of different
backgrounds and experience practicing together has always been one of
the characteristics and strengths of Sangha (spiritual community). While
we welcome anyone to attend the class, we recommend you first become
familiar with the meditation practices we do: the Mindfulness of Breathing
and the Cultivation of Loving Kindness (Metta Bhavana). These practices
are not introduced at Sangha Night. More info is on the main calendar page.
You can learn the practices
by taking one of the following classes:
- A six-week Introduction
to Meditation course to get a thorough grounding. (more
info)
- Attending our Thursday
drop-in class. (more info)
- You may also want to
take the Introduction to Buddhism course for a good overview of Buddhist
concepts and terminology. We do try to keep the teaching direct and
accessible and do not assume previous knowledge of Buddhism. (more
