I hope it's ok to publicise these upcoming talks by a visiting American monk - he's a great teacher and has a real knack for presenting the Dharma is a way that's accessible and really relevant for us in busy modern cities - thanks
BEING HAPPY HERE AND NOW
With Venerable Sumati Marut
Dates: Dec 18, 19, and 22 at 7.30pm – 9.30pm
Address: 132 Neil Road
Free admission (donations welcome)
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama says that "the great democracy" is that all beings want to gain happiness, but we're completely mistaken about how to bring it about. Join us for an enlightening teaching by Venerable Sumati Marut on how to use universal spiritual principles to bring lasting happiness to your life. With his trademark humor, warmth and practicality, Ven. Marut will light the way toward coming to grips with one’s past, embracing the future, and perhaps most importantly, being happy here and now no matter what the external circumstances.
This non-denominational talk is open to individuals of all faiths and walks of life – we look forward to seeing you there!

With kind regards,
