The Power of Love, the Love of Power

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Tue, 1 Apr, 2014 - 00:00
Behind this title we find the first Buddhist ethical precept and Sangharakshitas distinction between operating in the Love Mode and operating in the Power Mode. A beautiful and engaged talk, responsive to her audience, where Kulanandi draws inspiration from the book The Ten Pillars of Buddhism, by Sangharakshita.

Well done Sanghamani!

Well done Sanghamani!

Women & Men's Ordination Teams in India: is there a difference?

From India Dhamma Trust: "At the heart of a peaceful Dhamma Revolution" on Sat, 29 Mar, 2014 - 15:48A number of our donors have asked us why the Women’s Ordination Team is smaller than the Men’s. A good question which demands a considered response which Subhuti has provided…

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Wed, 26 Mar, 2014 - 18:30It’s hard to believe it’s the last full day of the retreat and that we’ll be coming out of silence very soon.
