Objectives
We Take What We Need
We Give What We Can
As Dhamma practitioners, we know that the Teachings are only useful when put into practice in our everyday lives. Other than learning at the temple, how about learning from everyday life itself?
​
At CAKKA 2017, we want to show that all of life itself is our classroom for practice. Youth, Work, Family and Silver Age - each aspect of life has different Dhamma lessons to impart, if we let them.
And of course, the journey of Dhamma exploration is scarcely one that we make alone. Indeed, we come together as an interdependent community - giving our knowledge and sharing experiences, and yet taking in goodwill and imbibing wisdom in other areas.
By forming a supportive community and interacting with others facing situations similar to ourselves, we hope that CAKKA 2017 will kickstart each of our own Dhamma journey and help us find the inspiration we need to practise every waking moment.
