Working with Doubt and Limiting Habits

By Windhorse Publi... on Wed, 13 Mar, 2024 - 19:00

Things are buzzing at the publishing house. We’re in the final stretch, putting the finishing touches on covers, endorsements, proofreading, printing, and marketing for two exciting books set to hit shelves in April and May. Plus, we’re gearing up to make some of our older titles available through print-on-demand, ensuring they’re always within reach. Watch this space for more updates in the weeks to come.

And amidst all this hustle and bustle, we’re delighted to mark the 50th anniversary of Windhorse Publications...

Buddhafield Family-Friendly Events

Buddhafield has been a home from home to many families for decades; children and families growing year after year from the mossy ground of the Buddhafield. It’s not surprising that people return to our events again every year to reconnect with the land, with each other and with the Buddha’s Dharma.

Competition: Help Animate Mara's Army!

By Aryajit on Tue, 5 Mar, 2024 - 19:34

Dear Families, 

I’m creating a video about the life of the Buddha. 

Support Aryajit’s new animated work: ‘A Brief History of Buddhism in Six Minutes’

One of the most enjoyable parts of creating the video is drawing Mara (the “Lord of Death”) and his army, who try to stop the Buddha gaining Enlightenment by attacking him. I have been drawing beings from indian mythology, like Raksanas and Yaksas, but also skeleton armies, dinosaurs, dragons (as you can see from the attached sketches)...

February at Adhisthana
