Growing Together in 2026
2025-12-31 21:00 - 2026-01-01 00:30
A warm invitation to Welcome 2026 at the BSV Buddhaloka Centre
The theme for this year is “Growing Together in 2026.” Of course, it’s growing together as we walk the Noble Eightfold Path together with Spiritual Friends (Kalyānamittas). It creates a sense of community, which can give us support and strength as we practice. Just like a tree that grows on its own can be more easily blown over by the wind and rain than a tree that is part of a forest, which has much more support and protection. It is also important how we walk the Path together. We need to embrace the four Divine Abidings (Brahmavihāras) – Friendliness (Mettā), Caring (Karunā), Joy for other’s good qualities (Muditā), and Equanimity (Upekkha).
May we walk the Path joyfully together into 2026!
Date: Wednesday, 31st December 2025
Venue: BSV Buddhaloka Centre, 71 Darling Road, Malvern East
