Saturday 23rd May 2020

Led by Kalyanaprabha
‘In a certain place … the Blessed One smiled’.
So begins the story which becomes a story within a story, a story told by the Buddha to his friend and companion, Ananda.
The characters in the Buddha’s story include a potter, a student, a King, and the potter’s ageing parents.
What does the Ghatikara Sutta have to tell us who live at such a different time and in such a different place?
Kalyanaprabha, who loves a good story, is going to re-tell it, staying closely to the original; followed by some reflections on its themes of friendship, lifestyle, and devotion.
After which there will be time for questions and discussion.
Meet on Zoom on Saturday, 23rd May, 2.30-4pm, beginning with a round of introductions and a short meditation.
For women Mitras and Order Members. Email Atulyamitra if you’d like to book on and haven’t already.
