Lay Activities at Amaravati
These
events provide an opportunity to meet together and
explore themes relevant to practice and lay life. They include silent and guided
meditation, sutta study groups, yoga, discussion groups and other workshops.
The events are organised and led by experienced lay-Buddhist teachers, although
we occasionally enjoy the presence and teaching from a member of the monastic
community. All
are welcome to join us.
