In these times of uncertainty and unrest in the world, we have the opportunity to come together and meditate to show our support for world peace. If this space provides solace for our aching hearts, it has done something. If it is a very small part of a growing cry for humanity to move beyond the greed, hatred and delusion that binds us to war and unkindness to our fellow humans then it has served a wider good. It seems like a small thing, but as the Buddha said “drop by drop the bucket is filled by good intention”.

Please join us online, the second Sunday every month from 6pm-7pm (Brisbane time). We will meditate together in support of world peace, holding vigil for our brothers and sisters effected by war.
