What will you change to make a difference in our world?

From Buddhist Action on Sun, 10 Jun, 2018 - 19:55

We have been talking about BAM for several weeks in our small sangha, starting with a planning sangha evening and then Manidhara lead a mantra evening on Padmasambhava.  We invited Amalaketu from Colchester for the day to inspire us with ecological and environmental issues and we all pledged our eco precepts.

 We decided we would run a stall on Deal Market every Saturday in June and our tag line became “What will you change to make a difference in our world?”...

Update on Ratnasuri's Health

From Order Messenger on Sun, 10 Jun, 2018 - 14:43

Dear Friends,

We are writing to you about our dear friend Ratnasuri. For those of you who don’t know her, she was ordained by Bhante in 1983, and was one of the first women to be appointed a Public Preceptor.

FBA Podcast: The Buddha Beyond Siddhartha

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 9 Jun, 2018 - 12:00

This FBA Podcast is called ‘The Buddha Beyond Siddhartha’ by Dassini. The first half of the talk looks at the Buddha’s early life and his battle with and the defeat of Mara. Then Dassini looks at the traditional Buddhist concept of time, and the division of time into Kalpas, inconceivably lengthy periods of time.

The talk concludes by looking at the Dharma niyama, the order of conditionality through which the attainment of Enlightenment is possible.

Dharmabyte: Reality and Intuition

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 7 Jun, 2018 - 14:54

This FBA Dharmabyte is entitled ‘Reality and Intuition’ from the talk ‘All One Gorgeous Mistake’ by Vajradarshini.

A jewelled casket of a talk by Vajradarshini, with poetic accompaniment. Rumi meets Tsongkhapa in the Tavern of Ruin, and Dogen, Milarepa and Nagarjuna join them to talk about ‘self’ and ‘world’. Joanna Macy turns up too — then many voices, mixed and mingled, explore the experience of being part of an Order and following the Buddha’s way. Quite splendid...

He is still a Buddhist and continues to practise, but has ceased to think of himself as an Order member.  He would like to continue using the name Satyanatha when appropriate.  

Satyanatha was ordained in June 2009 by Kamalashila as Private...
