The Radical Edge - Returning to Buddhism in the 21st Century
Mon Nov 17, 7pm to 9pm, with visiting order member, Arthavadin (from Manchester, UK)
In the 1960s and 1970s Buddhism gained a foothold in the West. It promised an alternative to the growing hegemony of consumerism and the ‘me generation’. Now, fifty years on, we must ask ourselves has Buddhism changed consumerism or has consumerism changed Buddhism? What can we do to return Buddhism to its radical edge?
Doors open 6:45. Suggested donation $5 to $10
Mitra Study will now resume Nov 24, continuing our study of What is the Sangha? Apologies for the changes, but opportunities like this are hard to resist.
