The Positive Nidanas - Sources

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Wed, 19 Sep, 2012 - 20:59Tonight at the class, as part of Suddhayu’s excellent series on the Tibetan Wheel of Life, we’ll be exploring the Nidanas somewhat experientially. The ‘nidana chain’, in more established Buddhist usage, is a list of twelve identifiable elements in the grand, complex process of cause and effect that conduces to our sufferings.

Réflexions sur soi et autre

From Centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris on Wed, 19 Sep, 2012 - 00:00
Une causerie de Vajrapushpa pour la sangha de Paris qui explore le paradoxe et les tensions existants entre le développement personnel et la dimension altruiste qui sont caractéristiques de la voie ; la tension entre nos propres besoins et les besoins des autres. On peut l'approcher en se libérant particulièrement des 3 entraves : l'attachement à soi, la dépendance aux règles et rituels et le doute. Et en réalisant que notre propre pratique n'existe qu'en relation avec les autres, le domaine des préceptes, des brahma vihara (la bienveillance, la réjouissance, la compassion et l'équanimité) et de la communication aimante.

Conférence donnée en anglais et traduite par Ujumani, au centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris
