Autism and Buddhist Practice

By NDTriratna on Mon, 3 Jul, 2023 - 16:41

Here is a book that may be of interest to you, whether or not you are autistic around different aspects of Buddhist practice. It includes a chapter from our very own Prajnanandi. It would be of particular use to those looking to articulate more about their autism and how it works with Buddhism, or those who are interested in supporting autistic individuals.

Seeing It Better: A Review of 'After Cézanne' by Maitreyabandhu

Seeing It Better: A Review of 'After Cézanne' by Maitreyabandhu

By Vishvapani on Thu, 21 Apr, 2022 - 17:26

After Cézanne,
By Maitreyabandhu,
Bloodaxe, 2019

Review by Vishvapani
Maitreyabandhu’s most recent poetry collection reflects on Cézanne’s paintings and is a subtle meditation on the possibilities of art and perception

The epigraph of Maitreyabandhu’s most recent collection After Cézanne is a quote from a letter the artist sent to Emile Bernard in 1904: ‘Talking about art is virtually useless.’ That challenges the fifty-plus poems in the collection, which all relate directly or indirectly to Cézanne’s painting and are generously...

The Sound of One Hand by Satyadasa: Review by Vishvapani

The Sound of One Hand
By Satyadasa
Yakhorn Press, 2022

Like Satyadasa I’ve been a part of the Triratna Buddhist Community for the whole of my adult life. He’s about a decade younger than me, but many of the Triratna experiences he describes in The Sound of One Hand are shared. Like me, David (as Satyadasa is called up to his ordination) grew up in the middle-class South London suburbs and had an Oxbridge education before pitching into...

I Can't Believe It's Not Buddha!

By Sadayasihi on Fri, 5 Oct, 2018 - 10:42

Did the Buddha actually say “all worldlings are mad”, “all descriptions of reality are temporary hypotheses” or “all things are perfect exactly as they are”?  These are just some of the sayings that Bodhipaksa, author of Vegetarianism: A Buddhist View and of the Wildmind Buddhist Meditation site, investigates in his new book I Can’t Believe It’s Not Buddha!, an entertaining search for the truth amidst the haystack of ‘Buddha quotes.’

The book is Bodhipaksa’s response to encountering many dubious ‘quotes’ attributed to the Buddha...

Buddhafield Dharma: Buddhafield's first book!

Buddhafield Dharma: Buddhafield's first book!

By lokabandhu on Tue, 5 Jul, 2016 - 21:18

Triratna has many Buddhist centres in cities across the world - and it has Buddhafield.  Buddhafield is different; it’s a community of people dedicated to practicing and teaching the Dharma as far as possible in the open air, in the fields and woods and  meadows of England.  That gives it a unique ‘edge’: an unvarnished closeness to the elements, a connection with the Buddha and how he lived, an immediate appreciation of the natural laws of ecology…   Necessarily seasonal...
