Men's Area Order Weekend | Democracy and the Dhamma Revolution: What we can learn from Dr Ambedkar

Led by Public Preceptors

“Equality will be of no value without fraternity or liberty. It seems that the three can coexist only if one follows the way of the Buddha." - Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar

This November Area Order Weekend will as usual be led by members of the College and we are particularly pleased to be joined by four College members from India.

On this weekend we will examine Dr Ambedkar’s thinking on Buddhism and society, and its importance to our Order today, East and West. We will hear from Amrutdeep, Amoghasiddhi, Nagaketu and Ratnashil, Vidyaruchi and Subhuti.

Reception is from 4pm on the day of arrival, with the retreat beginning with supper at 6pm.

While you’re here you will be participating in communal life. This includes meditating with everyone on site in the main shrine room in the morning, taking part in daily tasks and at the end of your retreat you will help us to prepare the retreat centre for the next group to join us.

With this in mind, the retreat will finish after the clear-up, so if travelling on public transport, please book a train after 3pm.

The deposit for all our events is non-refundable and non-transferable under all circumstances. For this event, the deposit is £50.
