Podcast - Vidyadevi on 'The Complete Works of Sangharakshita'

From Buddhist Centre Features on Mon, 8 Apr, 2019 - 13:50

There’s something about coming at it all fresh and trying to see the patterns in it and bring it together in its different ‘baskets’…

Vidyadevi is an editor of ‘The Complete Works of Sangharakshita’ which aims to be the definitive edition of Sangharakshita’s life’s work as a Buddhist writer and teacher.

In this conversation she talks about the various different people who are involved in making this project happen, its significance, what it’s like working on it now that Sangharakshita has died, and her...

Resignation of Taralila

Resignation of Taralila

From Order Connection on Mon, 8 Apr, 2019 - 10:10

Dear Order Members,

It is with considerable sadness and reluctance that I have accepted Taralila’s resignation from Triratna. I first met Taralila in the late 1980s or early 1990s in Wellington - so she has had a very long association with Triratna. I found her a graceful and creative woman, with a strong ethical and spiritual determination.  Adele then traveled to the UK, where she lived in Cambridge working for Windhorse Trading. On her return to New Zealand she lived in the South Island,...

A Wave of Metta Around the Globe:

200 hours Certification Mindfulness Yoga Teacher Training course with Bodhiyoga International

From Suryavana Retreat Centre on Sat, 6 Apr, 2019 - 15:47

Bodhiyoga ran by Sadhita and Sudaka organise several of their events through Suryavana Retreat Centre.

Yoga without Awareness cannot be Yoga. 
 
Our teachers gain a clear understanding of how to present a full range of yoga postures and sequencing formats both fast and slow, (vinyasa flow, Yin, a more therapeutic approach) incorporating modern and ancient methods. 
 
We emphasise intelligent, sensitive, anatomy-based alignment principles rather than a dogmatic one-alignment-fits-all-approach. Distinctively, we teach how to apply Mindfulness to...

FBA Podcast: The Lion's Roar Of Doctor Ambedkar

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 6 Apr, 2019 - 14:00

Our FBA Podcast this week is a rousing, uncompromisingly radical talk from Maitriveer-Nagarjuna entitled The Lion’s Roar Of Doctor Ambedkar (with translation in Hindi).

Taking up the theme of the Convention, the great “Lion’s Roar” of the Buddha, Maitriveer-Nagarjuna evokes the fire that drove Doctor Bhimrao Ambedkar to work tirelessly on behalf of the so-called Dalit “Untouchable” people in order to free them from the evils of the Hindu caste system. He reframes Doctor Ambedkar as a...

Retreats with Bodhiyoga in Surayvana, Spain

Our retreats at Suryavana unfold in two phases. A new development has been to invite locally based practitioners both English and Spanish to join us over the weekend. After Sunday lunch the Spanish group leaves and the retreat moves into a second phase with the smaller group emphasising more silence and contemplation. We offer two groups with meditation and Yoga classes in English and Spanish. This format has proved very satisfactory intercultural event. Places will be...
