New Dhamma Study Group – Starting August 2, 2025

Dear Dhamma Friends,

To deepen our understanding of the Dhamma in a more structured and supportive way, we’re excited to launch a new Study Group under the guidance of Bhikkhu Santacitto.

🗓 When: First Saturday of each month
🕚 Time: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
🍽 Followed by: Potluck lunch
🏡 Location: Please contact us at info.ibfc.toronto@gmail.com for the address!

Bhante will guide us through essential Dhamma topics starting from the foundations. These sessions will be interactive, and questions can be asked directly in the  Dhamma Space Group.

To keep the learning engaging and collaborative, each topic will be presented by a family or group, who will have the creative freedom to present it in their own style as long as within the topic that Bhante provided.

📚 Our first topic will be: Kamma

It’s a good opportunity to learn Dhamma together as a family or team to strengthen our understanding and support one another on the path.

Let us learn and grow together—for our own benefit.
Anumodana for your support and participation!

About us

Indonesian Buddhist Fellowship of Canada (IBFC) was created in 2003, out of a shared vision amongst our founders who aimed to learn and practice together in a sense of community, following the teachings of the Buddha Gotama. The community is mainly based in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
