The Absent Buddha (Parable of the Physician)

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Thu, 5 Jun, 2025 - 00:00
How can we find meaning in life? What do you long for? Join us at Sangha Night to find out as we travel deeper into the world of transcendental science fiction that is The White Lotus Sutra, with Paranita telling the Parable of the Good Physician. In this series we are exploring the profound teachings of the White Lotus Sutra, presented through a combination of poetry, drama, parables and what can seem like cosmic science fiction, and the way these have the potential to free us to take our practice of the Dharma to a new level.

James Hillman, ‘Healing Fiction’

At its best, meditation practice and Dharma reflection can be a means to help us gain access to the unseen underlying currents and forces that shape our lives. Yet, as practitioners in day to day life, many of us can still have an experience of somehow being ‘out of touch’ both with ourselves and...

New Convenor of the International Council

From Order Connection on Mon, 2 Jun, 2025 - 09:51

Fellow Order Members

On 1st May I took on the role of Convenor of the International Council from Arthavadin, who held it for the last 4.5 years. A few days earlier he symbolically handed over the responsibility to me in a moving short ritual in Bhante’s lounge in Urgyen House. As part of that handover he passed on to me a mala that had belonged to Bhante, and I recited the verses of acceptance, lightly revised from our ordination vow by Mahamati.

Meditation and reflective writing with Yashobodhi

Sunday June 29
