How True is the Truth?
Theo and Sophie are
(fictitious) members of a theosophical lodge who strike up a conversation
while browsing in the library. The conversation soon turns into an
exploration of the nature and utility of spiritual & religious truth. Come
and “eavesdrop” on their conversation and also to participate in it. Use
this as an opportunity to review your own attitudes towards the “truth”.
Presented by Bro. Derrick Ong and Sis. Choong Tsui Wei. |

Informal Study Group Students often need to seek clarification on theosophical teachings and explanation of certain writings as our literature can sometimes be rather abstruse. To facilitate earnest students, we have informal study group (ISG) meetings for the express purpose of answering questions of students. Chong Sanne will be the facilitator for the ISG. Participants are requested to submit their questions by email in advance.
