πŸ“œ Prajna: Uncovering the Buddhist Idea of Wisdom

πŸ€” What’s the difference between being smart and being wise?

In Buddhism, prajna (wisdom) isn’t just about knowing facts β€” it’s about seeing reality as it truly is: impermanent, interconnected, and ever-changing. 🌏✨

In this session, we’ll explore how to grow this deeper wisdom through study, reflection, and meditation, so we can face life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and courage. 🌿πŸͺ·

πŸ—“οΈ Thursday, 16 October
πŸ•– 7.15pm – 9pm

The venue is at Town Plaza, Seminar Room 1
✨ All are welcome β€” come curious, leave wiser. πŸ’«

πŸͺž Buddhism and the Self

Who are you, really?

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ Expect fresh insights, guided reflections, and a chance to see β€œyourself” in a whole new light.
