Join us for a meditation and dharma talk, to be presented tonight by Akāliko Bhikkhu at the Don Bank Museum. Bhante’s talk is titled Selfies and Not Self: Buddhist Communication in the Digital Age.

Right speech was central to the Buddha's teachings on developing harmonious community relations. Communication today is much more complex and varied than in the Buddha's time; we don't just speak to each other in person but connect with a global community through emails, SMS, photos, videos, GIFs and more. How should we apply the Buddha's teachings on right speech to communication in the digital age?

The Bluegum Sangha's dharma talk series provides a secular environment to hear Buddhist teachings. At their core, these teachings aim to help guide our lives towards liberation from dukkha (unsatisfactoriness).
