Adelaide Triratna

Tuesday 17th Nov is our grand finale night focusing on the Urban Ecosattva. Keryn has been ably facilitating us in thinking about and discussing all manner of aspects related to this theme, including What is Nature? What is aesthetic appreciation and how do we express this in our daily living? Do we hide in loving kindness or engage in loving kindness? What are the personal hindrances to being an engaged Buddhist? Be there next Tuesday for a last opportunity to explore meaningfully with others how we might live harmoniously together with planet earth.

Saturday 21st November is the launch date for the International Urban Retreat (see previous email for details). The theme is Living in the Greater Mandala, a teaching of Sangharakshita about learning to live from a more expansive, beautiful and non-utilitarian perspective. Contact Saddhavijaya now if you want to take part.

Saturday 28th November will be the final workshop to conclude the Urban Retreat, followed at 3.30pm with our Sangha Day celebrations, including Keryn’s Mitra Ceremony. Everyone is welcome to join us for this very special occasion.

Sunday 29th November is the People’s Climate March, commencing 11am at Torrens Parade Ground, King William St. Details on where Adelaide Triratna will gather beforehand to join the march to follow soon.

Tuesday 1st December will see us launch our new Sangha Night theme of Spiritual Friendship for the month of December. This will be launched in a talk given by our visiting Order sister Akashamani from Port Fairy in Victoria.

Sunday 13th December is the date to mark in your diary for our End-of-Year gathering, details to follow later.

Sunday 27th December – Sunday 3rd January are the dates for our Turning-of-the-Year Retreat at Glenbarr, Strathalbyn. Watch this space for the theme and further details to be announced shortly.

Looking forward to sharing lots of growthful time together in the remainder of this year.
