Sutta Discussion and Alms Round by The Bros

The Sutta Discussion and Alms-round event occurs on the third Sunday of each month from February 15 to June 21, 2026, starting at 11:20 AM and concluding at 3:00 PM AET. Participants meet at Burwood Park for the traditional Piṇḍapāta alms-round led by Ven. Pasanna, Bhante Sujato, and Ven. Ngawang Tenzin, followed by a shared picnic lunch. The afternoon features a sutta reading and discussion at a Concord location, exploring ancient Buddhist discourses on meditation, ethics, family life, and the path to peace. This recurring in-person gathering revives a practice from the Buddha's time, with registration required via email to contact@mettacentre.com. Ven. Pasanna, an Australian-ordained bhikkhuni, leads the discussions, drawing from personal experience in Buddhist study and monastic life.
