Here is the info about the meetings…

The second meeting of the new Victoria Secular Buddhists group is scheduled for next Monday, July 19th, from 7pm to 9pm at the “The Church of Truth – Community of Conscious Living” in James Bay (on the corner across from the entrance to Fisherman’s Wharf).
Here is a link to a map and directions: http://cot.conscious-choices.ca/?page_id=49 

If you have any questions please contact me rather than the church.

This will now be a weekly meeting repeating every Monday night. Where scheduling conflicts arise with other groups renting space in the building we will make other arrangements.

As we are paying to rent this space I ask that attendees please make a donation at the meeting if possible.

Chairs will be provided.

The format of the meeting will be:

• 30 minutes teaching about Buddhism. Subjects – not necessarily in this order – will include Mindfullness, the Eight Fold Path, the Four Immeasurables (Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity) and other similar core Buddhist concepts. I can also include other subjects from my Buddhism For Beginners course – see http://buddhismcourse.com
This list is enough to keep us learning and practicing for a very long time.

• 20 minutes question and answer period about anything to do with Buddhism

• 20 minute social break

• 20 minute Meditation teaching (how and why regarding each of three kinds)

• 20 minute meditation period

This format is will provide structure for us to get started however over time reality will show us what the best format for this group is.

Again, if you are interested please go to the site and join that group so you will automatically be included in their regular communications.
