POEM BY SANGHARAKSHITA

From Lights In The Sky on Tue, 3 Dec, 2013 - 21:37

POEM BY SANGHARAKSHITA

From Lights In The Sky on Tue, 3 Dec, 2013 - 21:37THOUGH THIS poem has been taken out of context, the ending of Time of Fire, I find it apt to reflect on the inferred death of Sangharakshita (long may it be postponed). As the film, part three of my history of Triratna, has several themes of conflict, I wanted to end on some sober reflection, and the author was kind enough to read his poem (or part of).

Une pause pour Vassika

From Centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris on Tue, 3 Dec, 2013 - 14:45J’habite à Paris depuis 10 ans. Je suis venue pour aider et travailler avec Varadakini, qui était à l’époque une de mes deux kalyanamitras (amies spirituelles) officielles, et qui avait fondé le centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris. Au moment de mon arrivée, Suvannavira était aussi à Paris, et nous avons travaillé ensemble tous les trois. Varadakini commença peu après à se retirer de plus en plus du Centre bouddhiste et ses activités, jusqu’à ce qu’elle quitte Paris et puis la...

Going For Refuge to the Dharma

From Aryaloka Buddhist Center on Sun, 1 Dec, 2013 - 00:00

Part 3 of a 4-part series. An excellent talk from Dhammarati on the Dharma Jewel, with an emphasis on the practical and experiential. Pratitya samutpada is not a view, but a verifiable fact of our experience. This conditionality implies a natural current in reality that unfolds towards liberation.

Dhammarati explores how the Triratna System of Practice supports this process of unfolding by setting up the conditions for something new to emerge.
