Event Series: Day Retreat

Sangha Summer Retreat – The Buddha’s Law Among the Birds.

Friday, September 4th @ 6:00 pm – Sunday, September 6th @ 3:00 pm

Tree-birds adorn the forest heights – peacocks, parrots, skilled in the art of speech, thrushes, crows, and others…………. All waiting for words of wisdom, a great teaching from the Buddha!

We will be using material from ‘The Buddha’s Law Among the Birds’ ‘The Buddhist concept of universality is not confined to man alone. It is a total universality which extends to all living creatures’.

Thus, this little book, with a commentary by Edward Conze, speaks to us as humans, although addressed to the birds.

Join us for exploration through. Puja, meditation, reflection and talks on the Buddha’s teachings. Listen to the birds and soak up the beautiful Vajrasana in glorious countryside near Bury St Edmunds.
