Dharma Day 25th July 2010
Led by Bodhakari and friends
10.30 for 11 am start, until about 5 pm
The theme of Dharma Day this year is the noble eightfold path. We will be dong some meditation and reflection together, and look at ourselves in relation to the eightfold path. There will be eight 10 minute talks by members of the Sangha on each of the limbs of the path, and we will be concluding as usual with a celebratory puja, during which Mitra ceremonies will take place. Please join us to celebrate the Buddha's decision to share his insights with others, cascading down to us over 2500 years. Wear something blue to signify the Dharma jewel if you want to.
Please bring some vegetarian lunch to share.
