Dharma study

Each winter there is a series of Dharma study sessions held on Sundays after sitting.

Usually Amala-roshi and Richard-sensei teach on a chosen text, but sometimes a theme is chosen instead. Often senior students assist with the talks. In 2021 Richard-sensei gave a series of talks exploring basic Buddhist teachings called “Buddhism by Numbers”. Originally an oral tradition, Buddhism frequently employs numbered lists of teaching points, as an to aid memorisation.
