Change & Freedom
Led By: Prasadachitta
Monday, October 27th, 2025
6:30 - 8:00 pm EST
Online via Zoom

Event Description:

Join us for our monthly Sangha night as we come together in community to enjoy a presentation on change and freedom by Prasadachitta, the Chair of the San Francisco Triratna Buddhist Center and a member of the Men’s Ordination Team. 

Pratītya-samutpāda, the principle of dependent arising, is a general description of how reality actually is: all phenomena arise in dependence on conditions, nothing stands alone. The Four Noble Truths can be seen as this principle applied directly to our suffering. It shows how suffering arises from causes, how it can cease, and how to cultivate the path that is free of suffering — in essence, the path to freedom.

Agenda:

Sangha Nights are a special, once-a-month opportunity for the Triratna NY-NJ community to come together for an evening of Dharma programming and companionship. We gather on Zoom for meditation, Dharma talk and input, discussion groups, and reflections — all held within the context of spiritual friendship and community. 

About the Leader:

Prasadachitta was ordained in 2011. He makes a living as documentary videographer, filmmaker, and photographer, but his real passion is supporting Buddhist community living. He was born on a “back to the land” commune in rural Northern California, and that background has inspired his engagement with others in building the San Francisco Buddhist Center’s rural retreat center — Dharmadhara — and living in a community of Sangha members supporting retreats there. He is the Chair of the San Francisco Buddhist Center and is engaged in training others who want to practice Buddhism within the Triratna Buddhist Community.
