The Sub 35 group meets every
1st Friday of the month from 6:30pm until late. A
scrummy home cooked meal is included. The theme for
October is 'The Changing Climate'. The Buddha spent
much of his time in nature. How can this help us
reconnect with our world?

Come and join us (if you are sub 35) and enjoy an
evening of Buddhis talks, meditation, discussion, good
food, friendship and an all-round great Friday night.

Right at the heart of Buddhism lies a powerful critique of our most cherished idea: that we possess a fixed, enduring self. The Buddha made a great discovery: if we let go of clinging to fixed identity, tremendous freedom becomes possible.

In the past decade, identity has become more and more of a pressing social and political issue. Clashes over gender, race and nationality have intensified in a painful struggle for belonging, security and meaning.

At a moment when knowing who you are seems more important than ever, what could it mean to follow the Buddhist path, and go beyond identity? With help from five key teachings from Sangharaksh*ta, we'll look at how Buddhism must adapt if it is to offer our culture a future beyond the struggle for identity.
