The Heart Sutra is the shortest and the most popular sutra in Buddhism. The Heart Sutra is regarded as the summation of the wisdom of Buddha. It expresses perfectly the insight attained by non-attachment, the doctrine of emptiness.
There will be half hour of meditation before the discussion. So come join us if you would like to learn more about it! :)

Winter Sleep Out!
Winter Sleep Out
1pm, 30th Aug till 12pm, 31th August
280. Guildford Road, Maylands
Every year in the month of August, the Young Adult Division brave the cold to raise funds for the homeless.
What do we do? First we gather in front of super markets to fund raise and get people to sponsor us. On the day of the sleep out, we take our sleeping bag and sleep out in the COLD!!! Gasp! This is so we can experience, just for a night how the homeless spend their nights!
Our sleep out is more than just a night out in the cold. Starting at 1pm in the afternoon, there will be activities and workshops to raise awareness about homelessness amongst the youths! Participants would also learn more about what Mission Australia does and gain a better understanding to where their donations go. At the end of the sleep out participants return home with a greater sense of social responsibility and gratitude.
You can be a part of this cause too! We are looking for participants! We WELCOME ALL participants above the age of 12. Registration fee is a mere $5, and this includes dinner and breakfast. In the situation where you cannot attend the sleep out, please donate generously to our cause! We raised a total of $3000 for Mission Australia last year, and we look forward to increasing the sum this year!
