FBA Podcast: In Harmony with Friends and Brethren (Companions)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 26 Nov, 2022 - 06:00

What does it mean to be part of a Sangha? What does true harmony mean alongside the inevitability of conflict? Srivati addresses these questions with help from the monks at Kosambi, the six memorable qualities of a Bikkhu, and the seven knowledges of the stream entrant.

This talk is from the Dharmachakra Archives, given in 2002.

Medvetenhetens Mirakel

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Sat, 26 Nov, 2022 - 00:00
Under en kväll när det rådde snökaos i Stockholm ledde Viryabodhi ett utforskande av medvetenhet online via Zoom. Först kommer en kort introduktion till kvällen och sedan en guidad meditation. Efter tepausen hade vi även ett utforskande av temat i parreflektion, som inte spelades in. Vi utforskade då tre frågor: vad hjälper mig att utveckla medvetenhet, vad hindrar medvetenhet och sist, men inte minst, vad är medvetenhet, vad är dess kvaliteter? Stockholms Buddhistcenter 21 november 2022.

A Fundraiser for Vancouver Buddhist Centre

From Triratna News on Fri, 25 Nov, 2022 - 14:22

Placing all their belongings in storage and letting go of the physical centre. Losing many of their pledgers, as well as, income from classes and retreats in the process.

“For my oh-so 6th decade birthday, I want to raise $1000 for every year I have completed on this planet. This amount will

Dharmabyte: Relying on the Dharma as Embodied

From Free Buddhist Audio on Fri, 25 Nov, 2022 - 06:00

Being a disciple doesn’t require an emotional allegiance, but a spiritual one. Dhammadinna speaks about Sangharakshita as a spiritual friend while exploring the topic of discipleship in the Triratna Buddhist Order. We don’t go for Refuge to Bhante, we Go for Refuge to the Buddha, Dharma and Aryasangha. 

Excerpted from talk entitled Discipleship given at the Triratna Buddhist Order Women’s UK and Ireland Area Order Weekend at Adhisthana, 2014.

Less Is More

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Tue, 22 Nov, 2022 - 00:00
Stillness, simplicity and contentment. Easy to agree with, difficult to practise! We're all looking for more of something; more health, more choice, more success...but what if less is more? The Buddha's teaching was not given to be convenient, comfortable or to fit in with the ways of the world. The Dharma gives us a radical take on how things are - be prepared to be challenged!
