Dharma Night
Explore Buddhism to Deepen Your Life
Dharma Night is now exclusively an in-person class (it's no longer on Zoom).
Our weekly, in-person Dharma Night class is a chance to explore Buddhist themes and their relevance to our lives with a community of dedicated practitioners.
Dharma Night is aimed at people who have completed at least one of our introductory courses and have some familiarity with the two main meditation practices we teach as well as basic Buddhist teachings. However, if you don't mind jumping into the deep end a bit we welcome people of all experience levels.

Next Series: What Happens When We Die?
Tues 14th Jan - Tues 18th Feb 2025
Is there life after death? The Buddha taught rebirth, but what exactly did he teach? What’s the evidence for rebirth? Do we have to believe in rebirth to be a Buddhist? What can modern writers, philosophers and scientists add to the debate around life after death?
In this series of six talks Vaddhaka will guide us on an exploration of these and other questions to help us develop our own beliefs and views on what might happen when we die.
Tuesday 14th January - Who Lives and Dies?
Tuesday 21st January - Who is Reborn?
Tuesday 28th January - Is Rebirth True? (1)
Tuesday 4th February - Is Rebirth True? (2)
Tuesday 11th February - What Happens When We Die: Fictional Possibilities
Tuesday 18th February - What Happens When We Die: Things and Consciousness
Please be aware that none of the classes/events run by the Cambridge Buddhist Centre is aimed at under-18-year-olds. All under 18-year-olds must be accompanied by their parent or another responsible adult over the age of 18 (with their parent's permission). Please contact us in advance of attending at info@cambridgebuddhistcentre.com so we can assess how suitable the event is for the young person and how we can safely enable them to engage in an online class.
