Mindfulness All Flavours! Week 3: Appamada

From Online Meditators on Mon, 8 Dec, 2014 - 17:56Join us for our third flavour of mindfulness in our continued look at how to sustain the kind of attention we bring to bear in meditation.

On Tuesdays our course for regular meditators is looking at mindfulness (sati, sampajanna, appamada, call-it-what-you-will!) in the context of the Five Spiritual Faculties. This will also give us a chance to explore the area of ‘breadth and focus’ in meditation, as well as generally develop and maybe even flex the great...

At the still point of the turning world

At the still point of the turning world

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Mon, 8 Dec, 2014 - 16:52There’s a poem by T.S. Eliot that one of our order members quoted from in a talk some years back that has the lines:

‘At the still point of the turning world …. and there is only the dance …..’

They are etched into my memory now and sometimes (like now) when I’ve overcommitted myself and I’m scrambling to keep up with the hustle of my obligations they drift into my consciousness and I remind myself that...

Behind the Scenes with the Evolution Web Order Processing Team - #EthicalChristmas

From Windhorse Evolution on Mon, 8 Dec, 2014 - 15:44Although online shopping can be highly convenient, one of the down sides is that people miss out with the human experience. One of the ways we try to counteract that is our little personal messages and drawings on the side of each order, along with who your order was packed and dispatched by. Customers have fed back on how much they enjoy this and how it helps to make online shopping that bit more human.

We wanted...

#EthicalChristmas: Wildmind - The Accidental Publisher

From Buddhist Centre Features on Sat, 6 Dec, 2014 - 15:49Wildmind stumbled into publishing back in 2002, and has now brought out eight guided meditation CDs, with plans to publish a number of books.

Wildmind’s foray into publishing started because many meditation students requested that the guided meditations Bodhipaksa recorded for his online courses be offered in CD format as well. Bodhipaksa used the services of a local recording studio in order to record the mindfulness of breathing, development of lovingkindness, and walking meditation practices...

#EthicalChristmas: Wildmind - The Evolution of Dana-Based Online Teaching

From Buddhist Centre Features on Fri, 5 Dec, 2014 - 16:54There’s been a rapid evolution of how Wildmind runs online courses. For years we held online courses with anything from half a dozen to 20 participants. Then we decided to start 2013 with a more public 100 Day Meditation Challenge, followed by another 100 days exploring the four Brahmaviharas. For these events I wrote a daily (or almost daily) article on Wildmind’s blog, accompanied by guided meditations.

When Mark joined the team, we...
