Dharma Night

Dharma Night is now exclusively an in-person class (it's no longer on Zoom).

Our weekly, in-person Dharma Night class is a chance to explore Buddhist themes and their relevance to our lives with a community of dedicated practitioners.

Dharma Night is aimed at people who have completed at least one of our introductory courses and have some familiarity with the two main meditation practices we teach as well as basic Buddhist teachings. However, if you don't mind jumping into the deep end a bit we welcome people of all experience levels.

Tuesday 10th June - Arthasiddhi in conversation with Jnanavaca

Although still in recovery from his treatment for prostate cancer, we are very happy to welcome Jnanavaca (president of the Cambridge Buddhist Centre) back to the centre. Jnanavaca will be joining Dharma Night on Tuesday 10th June, and will be in conversation with Arthasiddhi. Amongst other things he will be talking about how his cancer diagnosis and treatment has influenced his practice of the Dharma. We are delighted that his treatment has gone so well, and that he is now able to begin reengaging with the Cambridge Sangha. Do join us at Dharma Night to give him a warm welcome back to Cambridge.

Next Series: Breaking through into Buddhahood
Tuesday 17th June - Tuesday 22nd July

The main metaphor the Buddha used to describe his teaching was of a path leading to Enlightenment. But sometimes we encounter obstacles on the path that prevent us from making further progress. What should we do then?

In this series we will explore this question and consider that sometimes a slow and gentle progression is not possible. Instead, we may have to break, or even smash, through the obstacle standing in our way!

We also contemplate the ‘wrathful’ figure of Vajrapani – Wielder of the Thunderbolt – as a symbol of breaking through into Buddhahood.

Please be aware that none of the classes/events run by the Cambridge Buddhist Centre is aimed at under-18-year-olds. All under 18-year-olds must be accompanied by their parent or another responsible adult over the age of 18 (with their parent's permission). Please contact us in advance of attending at info@cambridgebuddhistcentre.com so we can assess how suitable the event is for the young person and how we can safely enable them to engage in an online class.
