Great Buddhist Teachers of the Past .

Going Deeper

Going Deeper with the Dharma

This ad hoc gathering is for Order Members, Mitras and Friends who wish to go deeper, and who already consider themselves to be on the Buddha's Path. It is a chance to share our inspiration and explore alongside other likeminded people various aspects of the Dharma and their application.

The study group will usually meet on a Friday evening once or twice a month
