Meeting of the Younger Sangha
We are a group of younger people interested in Buddhism and meditation. We want to meet others who are also interested in Buddhism and meditation. Regular events are held where we get together to meditate, chat and discuss.
Next event – a Buddhist garden party at Andrea's
17 Aug 4pm – 9pm
Come over to mine for a bit of Buddhist comraderie and chit chat. We'll be in the garden if it's nice and the (newly painted!) lounge if it's not.
Bring a) a vegetarian dish to share, and b) a picture/book/figure that inspires your meditation practice or fuels your Buddhist interests.
Please message me on facebook for my address as this is a public event.
