What's on in Black Rock

East Sussex, England

Black Rock sits right on the coast in East Sussex where the sea air does more for your mood than a strong cup of tea. With no big venues to shout about, the town relies on local cafes and community halls to keep things lively without needing a stadium. It is a quiet sort of place that still manages to feel full of life. The real magic happens when you wander down to the beach or stop for a chat in one of the high street shops. You might catch a small gathering at a nearby village hall or just enjoy the view from your garden. Near Here keeps track of all the local bits and pieces so you never have to ask three neighbours which event is actually on this Saturday.

Triratna Day Festival
Community

Triratna Day Festival

In April 1967 Urgyen Sangharakshita founded what has become the Triratna Buddhist Community. Today we are a contemporary international Buddhist movement, firmly established in traditional yet hugely relevant Buddhist Teaching. Now more than ever practising the Buddha’s teachings on Compassion and Wisdom seem compelling, even urgent. Join us as we celebrate the founding of our Buddhist movement. Our day will focus on Practice for Peace in our World. We will include periods of meditation, ritual and reflection. There will also be space to practise gratitude that we have inherited an effective context in which we can make a difference. Join Maitridarshin, Akasati, Sthanashrada, Shuddhadhara and the Team for all or part of the day. The Day’s Programme: 10.30am Doors open 11am  to 1.00pm – a morning of meditation, reflection and discussion, including a talk from Akasati: WORLD GONE MAD: What can Buddhists offer? How relevant is Buddhist practice, in the midst of global chaos? Can cultivating  awareness and ethics have a ripple effect on the world? Taking in Buddhist teachings and contemporary thinkers, Akasati explores what Triratna Buddhists have to offer. 1pm A festival lunch – please bring vegetarian / vegan food to share together (labelled please). 2.15pm to 4pm – an afternoon of ritual, devotion and puja All welcome, no need to book, by donation
