Buddhist Teachings
Not able to put this into the events section so here I am :)
New Teachings
The Six Perfections
6 weeks starting 7pm Tuesday 17th October
These cover six important aspects of the Buddhist path. They are also very useful for anyone seeking to make their own life more meaningful. They include Generosity, Patience and Morality.
The teachings will be given by Geshe Jamyang (using a translator where necessary), based on traditional Tibetan Buddhist Texts. This will be followed by general discussion on how these ‘perfections’ can be developed and used in our daily lives. Please book in by email buddhismbop@gmail.com or contact me Jaki on 0212161102
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
