About the Monday night Theravada Class at The Buddhist Society

This class usually meets at The Buddhist Society on Mondays during term time at 6.30pm.
The class is led by Nick Carroll, Wendy Orr and Martin Evans, experienced lay teachers associated with Amaravati, under the auspices of senior nuns from the Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah. The main focus of the classes will be an exploration of the Theravada teachings with particular emphasis on their application in daily life. There will be opportunities for formal meditation (with instruction), determining the Five Precepts, and a short talk and/or questions and discussion.

About the teacher

Ajahn Candasiri is Scottish by birth and, like Ajahn Sundara, was one of the first nuns to be ordained by Ajahn Sumedho at Chithurst Monastery. Having been raised as a Christian, she continues to appreciate contact with contemplative Christians and with those of other faiths. Recognizing the immense benefit, both for herself and others, that can come about through a life of renunciation, she has actively participated in the evolution of the training and in providing opportunities for women to experience this form of practice. For most of her monastic life she has been resident at either Cittaviveka or Amaravati Monasteries.
