The Three Fold Lotus Sutra 5_12.22.22 28.12.2022

We have one more sitting in 2022 happening this Thurs. at 7:00pm. In the dharma talk this evening we will take our leave of "The Sutra of Innumerable Meanings" and move onto the Lotus Sutra itself, looking at the first chapter which is titled "Introductory."

The Three Fold Lotus Sutra 4_12.15.22 16.12.2022

This week we have our usual Thurs. sitting at 7pm. For the dharma talk we will continue our look into the short sutra that serves as a prologue to the Lotus Sutra, the Sutra of Innumerable Meanings (not to be confused with the frequently used text at business schools - the Sutra of Innumerable Meetings). 

The Three Fold Lotus Sutra 3_12.10.22 13.12.2022
