If your website is showing to some as 'unsafe'...

If your website is showing to some as 'unsafe'...

From Triratna Resources on Thu, 8 Oct, 2020 - 09:53

This from Dhammamegha:

We have had some trouble at Windhorse Publications earlier this year where access to the site was blocked for potential users. It turned out that there was a Vodafone algorithm that was wrongly applied to us. This applied to both Vodafone contracts and broadband supplied by them, including by third parties. Vodaphone’s algorithm made the judgement that the site contained indecent or inappropriate material. 

Because I’m a Vodafone user, I know that there are other Triratna sites that have had similar...

Dharmabyte: How does Buddhism speak to us?

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 8 Oct, 2020 - 05:10

Here Sangharakshita explores how Buddhism, being the most rational of religions, appeals no less to the heart than to the head, using the language of myth to do so. Examples are four ‘myths’ from the Buddha’s biography, here correlated with four of Jung’s archetypes.

From the talk entitled Buddhism and the Language of Myth, part of the series Ritual and Devotion in Buddhism, 1967.

Here Sangharakshita explores how Buddhism, being the most rational of religions, appeals...

How to Develop Spiritual Friendship: the Four Tantric Rites An Introduction

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Wed, 7 Oct, 2020 - 00:00
Triratna holds up the ideal of spiritual friendship; this model can help us be proactive in developing our own capacity for friendship and connection. Before we do that it's helpful to recognise our own conditioning around friendship and think about how that plays out as we encounter the Sangha.

In February this year, six women (Bianca, Mokshini, Sanghadarsini, Simharava, Viryapadma and Viryadhi) moved into a brand-new flat in a housing cooperative in the North-East of Berlin – just in time before lockdown. Together they have embarked on a journey to create the first ever women’s community in Berlin.

In this short video, made by Simharava, some of its members share the joys and challenges of the first six months.

Prajnapriya's health

From Order Connection on Mon, 5 Oct, 2020 - 12:03

Dear brothers and sisters in the Order,

I just wanted to let you know that Prajnapriya, who lives and works at Vajraloka Retreat Centre, has suffered a heart attack and is currently staying in Wrexham Maelor hospital.  It has come as a surprise as he has, otherwise, been in good general health.  He is currently in good spirits and not in any pain.  He has the support of the Vajraloka Community and a doctor friend in his chapter,...
