Dharmabyte: The Art of Disappearing

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 2 Sep, 2019 - 14:00

Padmasambhava Mantras - Day 3 Triratna International Gathering 2019

From Community Highlights on Mon, 2 Sep, 2019 - 00:00
Here is the first in a series of talks from the 2019 Triratna International Council, with the whole event set in the context of the Council considering deeply and studying the Dharma together. This year's theme is major elements from the biography of Sangharakshita, Triratna's founder, which are of wider relevance to anyone endeavouring to lead a Buddhist life. To kick things off, Saddhaloka explores the key aspects of any practitioner's commitment, Going Forth and Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels, evoking how Sangharakshita engaged with these formative acts as foundations of his own practice in India at the end of the Second World War. With an introduction by Dhammarati. For more, follow https://thebuddhistcentre.com/internationalcouncil

Remembering Sangharakshita

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Mon, 2 Sep, 2019 - 00:00
Dharmashalin interviews Stahanasraddha about his time serving Bhante Sangharakshita. Although the most important way we remember him is by applying his teachings it's also good to hear stories about the man and his life.
