monthly metta for mérida meditation

Posted by Vajranatha to metta for merida on Wed, 16 Aug, 2017 - 17:42

We would like to make the meditations a monthly event on the last Wednesday of every month. Each month we will give updates about how things are going in Venezuela. For the next one on 30th Aug I will be in Caracas & I hope to lead a meditation directly over there too.

Tonight’s ceremony in Nottingham at the start of the meditation will be streamed live starting just before 7.30pm UK time. When the video goes live you will...

The direct link to the video of the first metta for mérida meditation and twining ceremony is now available online. This may give you ideas of how to lead the meditation at your centres.

Money often substitutes for other things we want. But how to tell the difference? Amalavajra, a banker-turned-Buddhist fundraiser, explores how his relationship with money has changed.

In May 1999, at the age of twenty-five, I was a bond dealer at JP Morgan, a major US investment bank just off Fleet Street. I had always wanted to be, yes, a ‘millionaire’, and was now well on the way. But why did I want that? At the time I couldn’t really have told...

Meditation = Freedom

An invitation to give Order dana

Posted by Munisha to Orden i Sverige on Tue, 15 Aug, 2017 - 09:21

Could you help? As you may know, the Order Office (including Shabda) is funded by all of us in the Order.

This means people like Parami, Lokeshvara, Vimalamati and several others rely on the generosity of every Order member worldwide for their financial support.

They work incredibly hard. But unfortunately they do not get enough money for their needs because not all Order members contribute.
