The Association’s primary weekly activity for 2021 will be our Thursday night Dhamma talk (Buddhist teachings) and meditation practice. Dhamma talks are focused on aspects of Buddhism and Buddhist practice, and are usually conducted by our Spiritual Teacher Ven. Tejadhammo. From time to time Dhamma talks may be conducted by a guest teacher. An up to date schedule of guest teachers will be available for 2021 at https://www.engagedbuddhists.org.au/teaching/ The Dhamma talk is then followed by a silent meditation of around 30 minutes. All  are welcome, no previous experience is necessary.

The sessions will also be available as Zoom meetings with the meeting opening at 7.25pm. Interaction via Zoom will be limited to chat as we are primarily making this available as a service to those who can’t attend in person.
