Kamalashila's Quarterly No.3 - On Gonzo Psychogeography And New Beginnings

By Candradasa on Sat, 18 Apr, 2015 - 18:37

Another excellent conversation with Kamalashila in our occasional series from West London, where we celebrate the opening of their incredibly impressive new Buddhist Centre. But first we touch on all things liminal in our ongoing exchanges about landscape - particularly, in this case, the “gonzo psychogeography” of London and its subterranean rivers. 

We also hear about new beginnings in the shape of a Welsh contemplative community project, and Buddhafield as it re-emerges from some years...

By lokabandhu on Mon, 18 Nov, 2013 - 14:43Here’s the first in a series of video talks from the 2013 Buddhafield Festival - a great talk by Dhivan entitled ‘The Buddha Broke my Heart…’. He introduces it thus: “The Buddha taught love as freedom of heart. But what if we get burned in love’s fire? This is a talk on love, betrayal and broken-heartedness”.

It was given in the Festival’s Dharma Parlour area, as part of the overall theme of the Festival...

Buddhafield Festival 2013: Sound+Vision

By Satyadarshin on Fri, 27 Sep, 2013 - 16:13The theme for the 2013 Buddhafield Festival, Fire in the Heart, focused on the Buddhist practice of loving-kindness. This can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us. Loving kindness is revolutionary because it has the power to radically change the way we experience ourselves and the world, helping us cultivate true happiness and genuine compassion for others. Loving-kindness is not weak or passive, but is the strength that comes from seeing the true nature of suffering...

Buddhafield celebrates 18th Festival

By lokabandhu on Fri, 16 Aug, 2013 - 05:23Last month Buddhafield hosted the 18th Buddhafield Festival - in fact their 18th in a row! The Buddhafield Festival, founded in 1996, is Triratna’s largest and most diverse event, and a much-loved part of the annual calendar for many in the Sangha. This year almost 3,000 people enjoyed five days camping in glorious Somerset summer sunshine, a rare occurrence in the UK! The theme was ‘Fire in the Heart’, which took as its inspiration a quotation from the Buddha,...
