It’s the first full day of the Triratna International Gathering and Adhisthana is basking in summer sunshine! 

In this short podcast we get a flavour of the ‘Alchemy of the Dharma’. A couple of people share their highlights from the International Gathering so far - from the first talk by Ratnaguna on ‘Transforming Self’, a classic music concert after lunch, workshops on tai chi, yoga, the activities for children as well as authentic conversations and the possibility...

Dharmabyte: Working Towards Wisdom

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 22 Aug, 2019 - 14:00

Metta helps us to disentangle our own self involvement to be able to see the bigger picture. We can only really see things clearly with the eyes of Metta. Vijayasri looks to the life of the Buddha and how he responded to the suffering of the world with metta.

This talk entitled Living with Loving Kindness was given at Croydon Buddhist Centre as part of the regular Saturday morning Sangha class,...

The International Gathering 2019 is about to start. 
A team of people have been working joyfully to prepare and set everything up. Each day’s work was started with this dedication-ceremony, created by Polly from verses about Padmasambhava, which expresses the spirit of creating the event and welcoming people to it.

There is no teacher like the Buddha
There is no protector like the Dharma
There is no field like the Sangha

Death of Dharmottara

From Order Connection on Wed, 21 Aug, 2019 - 21:09

Her practice during the last few years impressed many of us, especially the way she used difficulties as opportunities and found joy and deepened friendships in the midst of a very challenging illness.

Dharmottara was 76 years old and had...

Using Your Head

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 21 Aug, 2019 - 00:00
To succeed at anything, we need to think; to go about it in a way that's actually going to work. Vadanya examines different metaphors that help us to bring our reasoning and wisdom into action to make spiritual progress. He highlights the importance of creating the right conditions to grow and flourish, particularly the importance of spiritual friendship. Part 5 in the 'Path to Awakening' Sangha night series at Sheffield Buddhist Centre. Points for reflection and discussion: Do you believe that the whole of the spiritual life grows with a foundation of spiritual friendship? What could you do this week in order to connect more with other people on the spiritual path? Is there a difference between listening to a talk online and being there at sangha night?
