The Buddha’s vision was for the total transformation of human life.
In our society, it’s easy to think that Buddhist practice is mainly about individual change. But the Buddhist path implies a radical revisioning of our whole world. It demands not only that we work on liberating our own minds, but that we work to create the conditions for others to do the same.
In other words, the Dharma demands that we build a New Society.
On this very special retreat - one of the highlights of our year - we’ll be physically building the New Society by working together to transform the Buddhist Centre.
We’re going to be continuing the crucial work of turning the building into a beautiful shrine to the power of the Dharma. We’ll be stripping off old paint and wallpaper to reveal and restore the building to its original glory. There will also be an opportunity to take part in printmaking and dying workshops - part of our project to create beautiful, community-generated images for the Buddhist Centre!
Vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. No need to attend the whole retreat; feel free to drop in and out. RSVP by emailing info@buddhistcentrecroydon.org
