We will look at a short text called the Dhaniya Sutta from a very early Buddhist anthology called the Sutta Nipata.
This text has been described as 'a dialogue between Dhaniya and the Buddha. One rejoicing in his worldly security and the other in his spiritual freedom.
We will begin with a short meditation, then discuss the text, and then finish with a short reflection on the material we have explored.

You don’t need to bring anything with you – mats and cushions will be waiting for you at the centre. Just wear something comfortable so that nothing distracts you during meditation. We don’t wear shoes in the meditation room, so you’ll have a chance to show off your favourite socks.
