Two ‘Carbon Sadhanas’

These are two ‘Carbon Sadhanas’ (meditation visualisations) I wrote a couple of years ago, around the time of the first Order Convention at Bodh Gaya in India, in fact. I hope they might help Buddhists connect a bit more imaginatively with the consequences of their actions if they choose to drive or fly.

Buddhafield eBooks - Akasati: Ecology, Buddhism and Buddhafield, An Introduction

By Candradasa on Thu, 23 May, 2013 - 19:27Well, as expected, the internet gods were (quite properly!) no match for the secret realm where Buddhafield’s Green Earth Awakening Camp is gathering for the weekend Dharma festivities. N.B. It’s not too late to join them!

So we’ll have to wait till everyone returns to post (we hope!) some of the sights and sounds of this new event in the Triratna calendar…

Green Earth Awakening - New Buddhafield Event

By lokabandhu on Mon, 6 May, 2013 - 11:53Green Earth Awakening is a big new event coming up soon (May 24th-27th) from Triratna’s Buddhafield collective. Not a retreat, not a festival, not a holiday, they describe it as a place to learn, share and practice “Tools for your Mind, Skills for our Future”. Buddhism meets low-impact sustainable living in a glorious field in South-West England…

If you haven’t come across Buddhafield yet, it’s a remarkable project and we’ll be featuring their pioneering work...

A wonderful impromptu visit to Adhisthana, Sangharakshita’s new home and a spiritual centre of the future for Triratna!

Right now building is underway - we climbed to the roof of the library with Vidyatara and Singhamanas to talk about the project and hear about the wonders of the Eco-friendly technology at the heart of the community sites…
