Saturday, March 14, 2015, 10 - 4 pm

Radical living happens everyday. We embrace life and change - and on the Buddha’s Way that’s what sets us free. What does this mean for our relationships - at home, at work? Our family, our romances, our friendships… We’ll be exploring how to bring awareness and kindness to ourselves and others in a way that frees us. Join Viriyalila and Candradasa in this full day workshop to...

Want some Gold?

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Tue, 21 Oct, 2014 - 01:41

Want some Gold?

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Tue, 21 Oct, 2014 - 01:41The fruit of meditation is not a life that has no challenges or problems; they just come with the human condition. We all have a body that is subject to ageing and dissipation and we cannot ultimately control the choices of others … but what practice can give us is a mind that can navigate through anything with a delicious poise and equanimity. We can gradually train ourselves to engage with the comings and goings of life with a free...

Our First Original eBook: A Buddhist Cancer Memoir by Suvarnaprabha (Suvanna Cullen)

From Buddhist Centre Features on Fri, 17 Oct, 2014 - 19:16Just over a year ago, our friend Suvarnaprabha passed away in the company of her friends from the San Francisco Buddhist Center. Some readers may recall our coverage of Suvarnaprabha’s last few months in which she generously shared much of her process of dying as a way to encourage people to meet their own mortality in the light of the Dharma.

Suvarnaprabha kept a great blog to document the ups and downs of...
