Monks on Mars | Drew Bellamy | 2 August 2024

Monks on Mars’, following from last years ‘Dhamma and the
Dinosaurs’ talk that looked into the deep past, Drew now looks
into the future of the universe with a Buddhist perspective. Drew
Bellamy is a former President of the Buddhist Society, serving on
the Executive Committee for 3 years up until 2018. Drew was
instrumental in overseeing many important structural changes
which has allowed the Society to thrive in it’s current format
today. Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on
a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to
mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres
for teachings as it’s a time for deepening their own practice.
While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting
guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk. HEAVENLY
MESSENGERS 2024 (Rains Retreat Speakers' Series 2024) Out of
respect for our teacher, the teachings, and the precious
opportunity we have to receive them from afar, please attend the
online teachings in the same way that you would if you were at
the teachings in person. Comments have been disabled to maintain
a wholesome learning environment and prevent opportunities for
