Samsara Hacks — Dharma for Everyday Life and Liberation

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Fri, 1 Jan, 2021 - 22:32

Ongoing Sundays 10-11:15am EST

The teaching of the Buddha, known as the Dharma, is not meant for dusty bookshelves. The Dharma is a living practice that is renewed every moment in the minds and hearts of those who live by this wisdom. Samsara is the cycle of life and death in which we wander.

At the start of the pandemic, Ratnadharini started meeting weekly with her College deputies as a way of keeping in touch together with what was happening in the world and...

Introducing the Eight Guidelines OM

From College of Public Preceptors on Mon, 28 Dec, 2020 - 14:08

Dear Order members,

We are pleased to introduce to you a revised and expanded version of the Six Guidelines – now become the Eight Guidelines. The Eight Guidelines were adopted by the College of Public Preceptors at our recent international meeting. While the Six Guidelines have been very useful over the years, they do not address all the principal areas of ordination training.

The new Eight Guidelines offer a more comprehensive framework through which Order members can reflect on a mitra’s readiness for ordination....

2020: A Review of the Year

From Community Highlights on Tue, 22 Dec, 2020 - 16:15

Windhorse Publications is one of only a handful of Buddhist publishers in the West, and, to our knowledge, we’re the only Buddhist publisher based in the UK. For the past forty-five years, the books we’ve published (by Sangharakshita and other authors) have been instrumental in the continued spread of the Dharma to the West and have formed a rich treasure-trove of resources for the Triratna Buddhist Community. Our vision is for Windhorse Publications to continue to spread life-changing Dharma...
