with & Each session begins at 7.30 with some simple chanting in Pali and English. Then we do some guided meditation together, followed by a short tea break. After the break, there's a Dhamma talk, which may be on various topics. The teachings are based on the Buddha's original words, applied to address the concerns of today. The emphasis is on authenticity, depth, and practicality. Finally we share some discussion and questions. The teachings are usually presented by Bhante Sujato of Santi Forest Monastery; occasionally another senior monastic will be invited as guest speaker. The Good Life is on every Friday EXCEPT Friday 12 December, when we are sponsoring a talk by Bhikkhuni Dhammananda at the Buddhist Council of NSW - stay tuned for more details. The Good Life will be held on Friday 19 December, then we take a Christmas break, resuming on 9th January. The Spiritual Indulgence meditation/Sutta class will resume in 2009.
