What did the Buddha teach and can it still help our lives today?

This short series of talks introduces Buddhism as a practical, testable path, aimed at improving and even completely transforming our lives. Each meeting will consist of a short introduction to meditation followed by a talk.

13 September Buddhism in Eight Words
An introduction to key concepts in Buddhism

20 September Schools and Sources
The diversity of Buddhist schools and text can be bewildering. What do we need to know and what do we not? Is there a common thread that unites the different schools?

27 September The Social Teachings of the Buddha
The Buddha is often thought of as the teacher of a purely personal path of transformation, but he had a lot to say about the organisation of society too. This talk introduces this neglected aspect of Buddhism.

Venue: Quaker Meeting House, 100 Crown Street
