How do we relate to the Buddha?  Can we recall the first time we came across the Buddha and felt we had a connection?

On Thursday evening at the Stockport Group, Chandana gave a very engaging and personal talk exploring these questions.  He shared his journey, starting from being drawn to a Buddhist book about compassion at an early age through to the present day.

A meditation and a three fold puja including a reading followed, creating a more reflective second half.  The nights are drawing in and the shrine looked beautiful in the darkened room illuminated by the candles.
