The Power of Love

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Tue, 5 Nov, 2013 - 00:00
Padmavajra begins this talk with the chanting of The Karaniya Metta Sutta, in order to invoke 'the blessing power of loving kindness', which according to the sutta needs to be wielded at all times. He explores all of the stages of the metta bhavana (development of loving-kindness practice), as well as showing how metta can lead to wisdom and liberation, at the same time saying: we practice the metta bhavana to love others, Enlightenment is incidental!

Loving-kindness and your relationship with yourself...

From Loving Kindness - Blazing Like The Sun on Mon, 4 Nov, 2013 - 12:36
Upekshadaka, from the Ghent Buddhist Centre in Belgium, shares how the practice and development of metta (loving-kindness) has changed his life. He describes the effect on his relationship with his father, with his work, and, most of all, on his relationship with himself. Metta allows him not to hide his weaknesses, and also not to hide his strengths and qualities. And having that kinder relationship to himself transforms his relationships with others.

This is the second 10-minute talk from...

Death: your Hallowe'en treat!

From Triratna News on Thu, 31 Oct, 2013 - 00:37

Death: your Hallowe'en treat!

From Triratna News on Thu, 31 Oct, 2013 - 00:37To mark Hallowe’en, Siddhisambhava writes from north Wales about her workshops and retreats on facing death. (Some readers may need to know that Hallowe’en is a festival concerned with ghosts, witches, death and other things we’d rather not think about. Children often mark it by “trick or treating”: going house to house playfully demanding sweets in return for not playing tricks on the owners. Pumpkin lanterns are traditional too.)

Sanskrit (group)

From Triratna Translations on Mon, 28 Oct, 2013 - 21:06

This space contains translations of some basic Triratna texts and ceremonies from the original English into Sanskrit – an unusual enterprise as most Buddhist translation is done the other way!

Many thanks to Śraddhāpa, Dhivan and others for their work in preparing them.

Coming soon are the Th​reefold Puja, the Dedication Ceremony and the Refuges and Precepts. There’s also a Pali group with these and other texts in Pali.
