Planning Our Live Events for 2022: Let us know what you think!

From Buddhist Centre Features on Fri, 5 Nov, 2021 - 12:44

So far in 2021 The Buddhist Centre Online has hosted two home retreats - the inspiring and popular Alchemical Heart with Paramananda and the wonderfully rich In the Footsteps of the Buddha with Nagasiddhi and Mandarava; we’ve had Dharma seminars on the key Buddhist text, the Bodhicaryavatara, with Nagabodhi; ‘Looking into the Well’ writing workshops with Yashobodhi; movement and meditation classes with Jayachitta and much more besides…and the year isn’t over yet!

We are currently making plans for 2022....

Dharmabyte: There Really Isn’t a Me

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 4 Nov, 2021 - 05:00

Locana offers an excellent introduction to the most subtle and complex part of the Buddha’s teaching on impermanence: that all things in conditioned existence are empty of any innate self-nature. Insubstantiality might never be really ‘simple’ to understand - but this is a good place to start.

Excerpted from the talk Anatta Made Simple, 2001.

Locana (Elizabeth English) is the author of ‘Vajrayogini: Her Visualization, Rituals, and Forms’.***

Amalavajra - Your Money or Your Life

Amalavajra - Your Money or Your Life

From Free Buddhist Audio on Tue, 26 Oct, 2021 - 17:30

Money makes for wonderful means but terrible ends. If we focus our life a mere symbol of relative value then we risk alienating ourselves from the very things we seek - love, meaning and rich experience. Could money instead be a means to not just a better world, but to Enlightenment itself?

Amalavajra is an ex-City broker turned fundraiser. This talk was given to a public audience as part of the June 2014 ‘BAM’ series: ...

From Jobs, Volunteering & Communities on Tue, 2 Nov, 2021 - 14:51

Vajrasana Retreat Centre in Suffolk has an exciting opportunity for two men to join the residential community. Successful applicants will be part of the team who look after this beautiful centre and the thousands of people who come on retreat every year.
