Then there’s lots to look forward to in September. Kids Club returns with a new three-week Saturday series, our Friday Night Lecture asks Is Patience a Weakness or a Strength?, and our Open Day & Yard Sale is a chance to drop in, explore the centre and spend some time with our community.

Later in the month, The Truth That Sets Us Free offers an opportunity to go deeper, exploring Buddha’s Four Noble Truths and how this timeless wisdom can help us find greater freedom and peace in our own lives.

Is patience really a virtue or does it mean simply putting up with things we should change? Discover the Buddhist understanding of patience as an inner strength that protects us from anger and frustration, helping us stay steady, think clearly and respond wisely to life’s challenges.
