When: First Saturday evening (7.30 to 9 pm) and third Sunday afternoon (3 to 5 pm) of every month.

Each fortnight a group of young adults meets at Buddha House to explore how culture shapes their minds, feelings and world view. The group draws on the wisdom of Buddhism to discuss how to live life more intelligently and with more meaning. It's often hard to incorporate our spiritual practice into daily activities and this group offers the perfect opportunity to share ideas and stories about our own thoughts and experiences about this.

So far the gathering has offered a variety of activities and themes, including storytelling and performance, book-sharing and popcorn and movie nights. The group has also participated in creative activities, such as the performance of Zen stories, meditation and drawing exercises and musical chanting. The group has heard from guests and older members of the community who have been kind enough to share their own stories and experiences.

Buddha's Café offers the opportunity for young people to become more involved in the BH community by contributing to ongoing projects and organizing events that focus on loving-kindness and self-development.

You don't have to be a Buddhist to come along. In fact you don't need to have ever come to Buddha House before. This group is suitable for all young adults and with any level of knowledge about the world and can be joined at any time.

If you would like to suggest topics, workshops or contribute in any other way please contact the Buddha House office. Any assistance is deeply appreciated.

Cost: $5 plus gold coin donation for chai.
