Evil in Myth and in Human Experience

From Shabda Articles on Tue, 3 Oct, 2017 - 18:23

In the Tibetan Wheel of Life, between the human realm and the realm of the pretas or hungry ghosts, there lies the world of the gods and the asuras.

No doubt this process...

Metta for Merida - reminder!

From Buddhist Action on Mon, 2 Oct, 2017 - 07:01

A little reminder that metta for Merida is still needed in bucket loads - if you haven’t done so already,  do consider following  the Metta for Merida page;  and suggest at your Buddhist Centre or Triratna Group that a metta bhavana meditation is dedicated to the sangha and all the population in Merida. And then do let the sangha in Merida know! Thank you.
