How to Really Save the World:
The Dharma life as a revolution for everyone

Seven days of meditation, lively exploration, and strong, supportive friendship: a space to formulate your own ideals.

Led by Parami and friends in English and Spanish

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we’ve had to reschedule this retreat. The new dates are:

Reserve a space on the Home Retreat

N.B. Your ticket is for any day – come to as many sessions as you like!

‘CHANGE YOUR LIFE!’ These words on a poster in Scotland in 1977 revolutionised Parami’s view of herself and of the world. 45 years later, she’s going stronger than ever as a force for good in her exemplification of the Dharma, and in her pursuit of ethics, generosity and friendship in the great spirit of the “Bodhisattva Ideal” – living for the benefit of all beings.

The world still needs changing – more than ever. But how can we really save it? Can Buddhism offer a plausible way of ending the world’s suffering? Sangharakshita’s vision of a ‘new world’ where “we relate to one another as individuals, a world in which we are free to develop to the utmost of our potential, and in which the social, economic, and political structures will help us to do that” remains a beautiful vision. How are we to bring about such a world – by changing the system or by changing ourselves?

If you have these questions – and still want to give it a go – this retreat is for you!

Come and join Parami and friends online in August for an international retreat in Spanish and English (simultaneous translation available for all sessions).

This is how we really save the world – reserve your place and be part of the solution!

This event is offered by donation. If you can, please donate today and support others to attend who cannot afford to pay. Thank you!

Suggested donation for the whole retreat:
$175 / £125 / €150 or $35 / £25 / €30 per day.

Cómo realmente cambiar el mundo
La vida en el Dharma como una revolución para todos

Siete días de meditación, exploración dinámica, y amistad profunda y compasiva: un espacio para formular tus propios ideales.

Dirigido por Parami y amigos en inglés y español.

Debido a circunstancias inesperadas, hemos tenido que reprogramar este retiro. Las nuevas fechas y horarios son:

“¡CAMBIA TU VIDA!” Estas palabras de un póster en Escocia en 1977 revolucionaron la visión que Parami tenía de ella misma y del mundo. Cuarenta y cinco años después, más fortalecida que nunca como una fuerza para el bien por su ejemplificación del Dharma y en el camino de la etica, generosidad y amistad en el grandioso espíritu del Ideal del Bodhisattva – existiendo por el beneficio de todos los seres.

El mundo necesita un cambio, más que nunca. Pero, ¿cómo podemos realmente salvarlo? ¿Puede el Budismo ofrecer una manera plausible para acabar con el sufrimiento del mundo? La visión que ofreció Sangharakshita de un “mundo nuevo”, donde “nos relacionemos con todos los individuos, en un mundo en el que seamos libres para desarrollar nuestro máximo potencial, y en el que las estructurar sociales, económica y políticas nos ayuden a hacerlo” permanece únicamente como una hermosa visión. ¿Cómo podríamos crear un mundo como ese? ¿Tendríamos que cambiar el sistema o transformarnos a nosotros mismos?

Si te has hecho estas preguntas y aún lo quieres intentar, ¡este retiro es para ti!

Ven y acompaña a Parami y amigos en este retiro internacional que se llevará a cabo en línea en inglés y español (con traducción simultánea disponible en todas las sesiones).

Así es como realmente podemos cambiar al mundo, ¡reserva tu lugar y sé parte de la solución!

Este retiro es ofrecido en base a donativos. Si puedes, por favor dona hoy y apoya a aquellos que no puede contribuir. Gracias!

view our community guidelines for promoting good conversation

Community Guidelines

Here are key excerpts from our community content guidelines, which are designed to help create a positive environment for everyone:

1. Please be courteous at all times. If you’re engaged in any kind of discussion, be as prepared to listen as you are to express yourself. Remember that there’s always a real person behind a computer/device screen, and they are likely quite different from you.

2. Think twice before posting anything that’s likely to give offence or be inflammatory. That doesn’t promote good conversation. If you’re upset at something you see here, perhaps let a little time pass before responding. Bear in mind this isn’t a space to vent our views, it’s about exploring respectfully with others what it means to be a Buddhist within our community and in the modern world generally.

3. We may remove posts or comments that are considered off-topic.

4. Everyone has off-moments, and we’ll always try to be in friendly dialogue with you if a problem arises with one of your contributions. But we reserve the right to remove posts and comments (or even suspend user accounts) when we feel these guidelines are not observed.

5. Our current editorial policy around Safeguarding is aligned with the advice given by those tasked with developing Triratna’s approach to this important area of ethical life. If anyone breaches current policy by posting in ways that mean The Buddhist Centre Online potentially break the law by hosting the material, then we will have to remove their posts or comments. We respectfully request that all users bear this in mind when posting. If in doubt, please feel free to ask first before posting. It will save time, energy, and lead to less potential polarisation in these spaces, even if there is disagreement.

Whatever you contribute we very much encourage you to think about it in the light of the Buddhist ethical precepts around 'Right Speech'. These encourage communication that is: truthful, kindly and gracious, helpful and harmonious. We look forward to all you have to bring to the site!

Moderation

We try to keep things light when it comes to moderation of posts and comments within this shared space. And we ask the community itself to lead with this. If you have seen something that concerns you, please feel free to contact us. However, we do ask that you bear in mind the following guidelines, which will help preserve a harmonious atmosphere throughout the site:

Remember there is always a person behind the post or comment you’re objecting to. They may just be having a bad day… If you’re upset, perhaps let a little time pass before responding to them or us. Try contacting the person first in a spirit of open, courteous engagement to see if hearing their perspective changes your own view of things, or if hearing yours changes theirs. Take care to make sure what you are asking us to look at is actually against the spirit of the group or the site itself, rather than simply a difference of view or of personal taste. If in doubt, ask a friend and/or the administrator of the group.

The most important things about this is the first bit: we ask the community to lead with this. That means you! Thanks for helping us promote good conversations on The Buddhist Centre Online.
