'The Subtle Art of Caring' by River Wolton

By Windhorse Publi... on Fri, 17 Nov, 2023 - 08:00

Today we are pleased to be publishing a new book titled The Subtle Art of Caring: A Guide to Sustaining Compassion.

The Buddha taught the practices of loving kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity. These guide us in cultivating positive emotions and minimising harmful ones.

Poet, writer, activist, mentor, and Buddhist teacher River Wolton gives new life to these teachings as resources for a life in which compassion for self and other are mutually sustaining.

Windhorse Publications at Adhisthana!

By Windhorse Publi... on Wed, 8 Nov, 2023 - 12:39

Since the beginning of lockdown in 2020, our small team has largely been working from home. We meet up occasionally in Cambridge for a day, and gather online once a week. But last week we had the opportunity to spend time together at Adhisthana where we came together to discuss important operational matters, make decisions, and shape the future of Windhorse Publications.

Walter, who is responsible for our book marketing, said…

‘The meeting was a resounding success, filled with insightful discussions on...

The Visualisation of the Tantric Stupa

By Suvannavira on Thu, 3 Aug, 2023 - 14:50

A six week video course teaching Buddhist meditation, including the Visualisation of the Tantric Stupa, which gives us tools to reveal our true nature.

These tools include:

- Guided visualisations of the Tantric Stupa, focusing in turn on its different coloured forms and the elements which they symbolise; earth, water, fire, air and space. Each part of the stupa is further associated with one of the Five Buddha Mandala, whose mantras we’ll be introduced to, and a chakra.

- Supporting meditation practices for the Stupa Visualisation;...

Введение в буддийскую медитацию: «Визуализация тантрической ступы»

By Suvannavira on Sun, 30 Jul, 2023 - 13:33

Шестинедельный видеокурс, обучающий буддийской медитации, включая практику «Визуализация тантрической ступы», который дает нам инструменты для открытия нашей истинной природы.

Аспекты курса:

- - Управляемые практики визуализации тантрической ступы, фокусируясь по очереди на ее различных цветах и формах и символизируемих им элементах: земле, воде, огне, воздухе и пространстве. Каждая часть ступы также ассоциируется с одной из Пяти Мандал Будды, чьи мантры мы поем, и с одной из чакр. Ступа визуализируется на фоне ясного голубого неба, символизирующего шуньяту (пустоту).

- - Поддерживающие практики медитации для визуализации ступы; «Осознание тела», «Медитация без формы», «Осознание дыхания», «Метта-бхавана» (Развитие любящей доброты) и управляемые практики размышлений.

- - Краткая история развития ступы в буддизме; от понимания ступы как могильного кургана вскоре после Паринирваны Будды до ее сложного духовного символизма в тантре.

- - Исследование общих значений символов и ключевых духовных тем: освобождение наших психофизических энергий, обращение к прибежищу и духовная инициация.

- - Онлайн участие, индивидуально или в небольших группах, чтобы задавать или отвечать на вопросы, а также делиться опытом.

Предварительный опыт не нужен, будет подробное объяснение.
Преподаватель Суваннавира, член буддийского ордена «Триратна».

Windhorse Publications had an amazing time participating at Buddhafield! 🙏✨

Check out this heartwarming picture of our incredible volunteering team (from left to right Walter, Hilary, Tara, our trustee Dhivan and Fi), who worked tirelessly to spread the wisdom of Buddhism through our books.

Buddhafield was a transformative experience, offering us the chance to not only connect with ourselves but also forge deep connections with fellow seekers on the spiritual path. The festival provided a nurturing environment for self-discovery, exploration, and growth.
