PUBLIC TALK IN MUIZENBERG, NOVEMBER 26—ALL WELCOME!
We’re very excited about the visit to Cape Town of Acharya David Hope. Acharya simply means “teacher”; in the Shambhala tradition, it’s the title given to senior teachers who have been empowered by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche to represent him in teachings and empowerments such as vow ceremonies.
Acharya Hope will give a talk entitled Building Enlightened Society: Meditation and the Way of the Warrior on November 26 at 7.30 pm at Scarlet’s Café, 120 Main Road, Muizenberg. Scarlet’s is in the old Acoustic Café building on the corner of Main and Atlantic Roads, opposite the Checkers parking lot. We’ll have some finger food and a “cash bar” for the specialty coffees that Scarlet’s does so well. There’ll be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion with Acharya Hope.
We’re requesting a R25 donation, payable at the door. But as with all Shambhala Cape Town events, no one will be turned away for lack of money—so whatever your financial status, please do join us at this enlightening event!
