New book for the study group
Our Sunday study group is going on to a new book, making it a good time to join if you’re interested. It’s open to all members of the group – the only requirement is that you have read the chapter that we are discussing. The next meeting will be on the 30th of October and we usually meet every two weeks after that.
The book is ‘In the Buddha’s Words’ by Bhikkhu Bodhi. It’s a selection of writings from the Pali Canon, grouped together by subject and given a short introduction in each chapter, building up to a comprehensive picture of the teachings.
The book is available from Wisdom Books.
