Building a Better Future (One World, One Sangha)

From Future Dharma on Mon, 25 Oct, 2021 - 05:00

Yesterday we featured Kusaladevi’s fundraising support work that helped so many of our local Buddhist Centres not only survive the pandemic but thrive. We didn’t just want Triratna to survive - we wanted to help it continue to grow and reach out to more people.

The Triratna York Buddhist Group UK reached out to us and asked for help to convert an old empty shop and create York’s first Buddhist Centre. As they were planning to do this at a time when...

Keeping our Buddhist Centres Thriving (One World, One Sangha)

From Future Dharma on Sun, 24 Oct, 2021 - 05:00

Yesterday we featured the work our fabulous Triratna Translations Board are doing to to ensure that everyone can benefit from Dharma talks online. Talking about all the many different languages in which members of our Triratna sangha practice reminded me of the preciousness of our local contexts.

Our International Sangha is of course made up of the net of Triratna’s local sanghas. Without these there is no International Sangha.

As soon as the Covid pandemic took hold FutureDharma committed to helping Triratna get online. Alongside this we...

FBA Podcast: Love and Loss

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 23 Oct, 2021 - 06:00

Parami urges us to embrace loss, because it is inevitable, but equally so, don’t close yourself off to love. Accepting that everything that arises will pass, and yet everything that arises is precious that will give rise to a love that spreads throughout the cosmos.

Talk given at the Newcastle Buddhist Centre, 2021.

Are we speaking the same language? (One World, One Sangha)

From Future Dharma on Sat, 23 Oct, 2021 - 05:00

In our last stories we shared how Alex in Brazil, Zoe in Singapore, and Celia in New Zealand practice in our Sangha online from very different contexts. What they all have in common is being able to participate in classes and practice days in English. But what if you don’t speak English?

Our fantastic Triratna Translation Board already translate Dharma books into many languages of course. And in the last 18 months they’ve thrown themselves into our new online environment - Perhaps you heard them translating...

'See How Letting Go of the World Is Peacefulness'

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 23 Oct, 2021 - 01:00

Maitrisiddhi explores some of the pithy stripped-back wisdom teachings from the ‘The Way to the Beyond’ chapter of the Sutta Nipata. Compassion, insight and renunciation – it’s all there – giving us both a path of practice and a sense of ‘the Beyond’ – the ineffable goal. NB: Due to vagaries of Zoom, the first few seconds of Maitrisiddhi's remarks were not recorded. First of three talks on ‘The Way to the Beyond’ chapter of the Sutta Nipata, given on the Womens AOWE held at Taraloka in June 2021.

'I Will Sing You the Praises of the Way to the Beyond…'

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 23 Oct, 2021 - 01:00

Where is our heart-connection with the Dharma? When do we rely on the Buddha, and when on our own capacity to know and see? Sixteen brahmins go to see the Buddha, and ask heartfelt questions that resonate with passion, intensity and an existential need to know. And the Buddha responds with poetic clarity as he tries to express the inexpressible. NB: Due to vagaries of Zoom, the first few seconds of Maitrisiddhi's remarks were not recorded. First of three talks on ‘The Way to the Beyond’ chapter of the Sutta Nipata, given on the Womens AOWE held at Taraloka in June 2021.
