Meeting the Buddha. Sunday 10^th April- a day with Vishvapani

A day with Vishvapani getting to know the Buddha through meditation, reflection and study of the earliest texts, which take us as close as we can come to his actual words. We shall discover a remarkable man with a powerful vision and vivid personality: courteous, outspoken, kind and funny; a social radical, a profound thinker and a great poet who communicated his insights through a stream of parables, metaphors and ideas.

It's also a chance to get to know Vishvapani, who is the Centre's President, and share the fruits of his engagement with the Buddha. 10am-5pm. £40/£20.
