Invitation to Tuesday's Sutta Discussion and Meditation: Nurturing Mindfulness and Wisdom

Dear Respected Dhamma Community,

We are delighted to invite you to our upcoming English Sutta Discussion and Meditation sessions starting on 16 January 2024. These sessions held both at the London Buddhist Vihara and on Zoom, aim to create a space where the teachings of the Buddha from the Pali Canon can be explored, discussed, and integrated with the transformative practice of meditation.

Sutta Discussion:

Join us in delving into the timeless wisdom encapsulated in the Suttas—dialogues and discourses that form the bedrock of the Buddha's teachings. The Pali Canon, comprising the Vinaya Pitaka, Sutta Pitaka, and Abhidhamma Pitaka, provides profound insights into ethical living, mindfulness, meditation, and the nature of existence.

Meditation Session:

Each session will include a short meditation, harmonising the wisdom found in the Suttas with the practical application of mindfulness. This dual approach aims to nurture understanding and direct experience, creating a holistic journey towards tranquillity and insight.

Invitation to Friday’s Sinhala Sutta Discussion: Unveiling the Buddha's Teachings from the Pali Canon

Dear Respected Dhamma Community,

We hope this message finds you well. We are excited to extend a warm invitation to you for our upcoming Sinhala Sutta Discussion, where we will embark on a journey through the profound teachings of the Buddha as preserved in the Pali Canon.

Starting on 19th January, our discussions will revolve around the timeless wisdom encapsulated in the Suttas, the recorded dialogues and discourses that form the bedrock of the Buddha's teachings. The Pali Canon, comprising the Vinaya Pitaka, Sutta Pitaka, and Abhidhamma Pitaka, is the earliest and most authoritative source of the Buddha's words.

This virtual gathering is an opportunity to explore, contemplate, and gain insights into the multifaceted aspects of the Dhamma. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious seeker, we invite you to join us in unravelling the layers of meaning within these sacred texts.

Event Details:

Our discussions will not only delve into the historical context of the Suttas but also aim to apply their principles to our contemporary lives. By coming together, sharing perspectives, and reflecting on the teachings, we can deepen our understanding of the noble path and inspire transformative insights.

We look forward to your virtual presence as we collectively explore the wisdom that continues to illuminate the path towards enlightenment.

Wishing you peace and serenity,

London Buddhist Vihara
