Mon Nov 17, 7pm to 9pm, with visiting order member, Arthavadin (from Manchester, UK)

New Rupa

From West London Buddhist Centre on Fri, 7 Nov, 2014 - 11:25
We bought this rupa at an online auction yesterday.
It’s for the smaller of the two shrine rooms in our new Buddhist centre.
We’re hoping to move mid December. By next week all the walls will be up in the new space. It is an exciting time for all of us who work at the centre and visit it.

Your Money Or Your Life

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Wed, 5 Nov, 2014 - 00:00

And I guess this becomes an even more profound truth in our lives if we consider that each new moment is an invitation to recreate ourselves into someone we...
