Mindful Movement with Introductory Comments On Satipatthana Contemplation

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Thu, 26 Sep, 2019 - 00:00
This is talk 9 of 13 talks and led meditations given on the Path to Insight Retreat at Taraloka, July 2019. This retreat was offered to women who are training for Ordination and Order Members. The talks are available to all. Prasadavati skilfully outlines how we can relate to aspects of the Satipatthana refrain - the chorus that recurs throughout the Sutta.

Conquering Craving | Urban Retreat 2019

From London Buddhist Centre on Thu, 26 Sep, 2019 - 00:00
The first of five talks Exploring the five archetypal Buddha’s. Each talk in the series will draw out the wisdom of each of the Buddha’s to help us explore how we can make it applicable to our everyday lives. In this talk, Subhadramati describes the wisdom of Amitabha, the Buddha of love. We’re often attracted to the calm, serenity, the gentle smile of the Buddhas but what about passion? What about love and falling in love? Where does that all come in? Part of the London Buddhist Centre's 2019 Urban Retreat.

Dispelling Distraction

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 25 Sep, 2019 - 00:00
Moksatara and Maitrivasin share a talk on meditation, solitude and 'the supreme mystery'. Moksatara expounds the Bodhicaryavatara's teaching on hindrances to solitude, explaining how solitude can remove distractions and refine the pleasure we experience in meditation. Maitrivasin then explores approaches to the metta bhavana, sharing his personal experiences of walking in the shoes of others and developing empathy which is insight into the interconnectedness of all beings. Part 9 in the 'Path to Awakening' Sangha night series at Sheffield Buddhist Centre. Points for reflection and discussion: Would spending some time in solitude or on retreat benefit you? Could the 'supreme mystery' of exchanging self and other be part of your metta bhavana meditation? Read chapter 8 'Meditation' of the condensed Bodhicaryavatara (available on the Sangha Night section of the website at the time this talk was uploaded) to accompany this week's talk. Recorded at Sheffield Buddhist Centre 24.09.19

No More Comparison | Urban Retreat 2019

From London Buddhist Centre on Wed, 25 Sep, 2019 - 00:00
The second of five talks Exploring the five archetypal Buddha’s. Each talk in the series will draw out the wisdom of each of the Buddha’s to help us explore how we can make it applicable to our everyday lives. In this talk, Prajnamanas describes the wisdom of Ratnasambhava and explores how we can use his wisdom to notice how painful it is to compare ourselves in anyway with others and how true wisdom will take us beyond that. Ratnasambhava is also known as the Buddha of beauty and so Prajnamanas explores that here too. Part of the London Buddhist Centre's 2019 Urban Retreat.
