Awakening the Imagination with Amitajyoti & Vishvapani

From Buddhist Centre Features on Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 - 02:23

15-21 May

Discover the Imagination as a source of deep enrichment and how it can be a path of awakening into an expansive, loving and insightful awareness.

During the retreat, we will approach the imagination as an intuitive means of knowing and understanding, and a reliable source of ‘inner guidance’. We’ll explore what the imagination means to us, discovering images and perspectives to resource both our everyday and ‘more-than-everyday’ lives. We’ll draw on Buddhist sources along with inspiration from western wisdom traditions, contemporary art, and poetry.

Meditate, create, reflect

On another occasion, Bhante reflected, “In recent years I have been greatly struck by the vistas opened up by recent advances in the exploration of the universe in which we live, from the infinitely small to the infinitely great. These vistas cannot but induce a sense of wonder...

Så Och Sköra: Karma Och återfödelse

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 - 00:00
Läran om karma och återfödelse är en av de mest välkända och centrala – och kanske mest missförstådda – av de buddhistiska lärorna. Vad undervisade Buddha om karma? Vilka tankar och tolkningar har tillkommit efteråt? På vilket sätt kan lagen om karma vägleda och inspirera oss idag? Dessa inspelningar gjordes under en fördjupningskurs om karma samt en tillhörande dagretreat om återfödelse. Ledd av: Prakashadipa och Prasadacarin

Views that Liberate the Mind (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 - 14:49

Here, Vishvapani  focuses on the Buddha’s experience before, during and after Enlightenment, bringing his nuanced, perceptive reading to the words the Buddha himself is said to have employed in order to best evoke his experiences as he struggled to give voice to them.
