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

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!
