Meditation = Freedom

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Tue, 15 Aug, 2017 - 11:05

Meditation = Freedom

The Buddha taught that the goal of all his teaching and practice was freedom. But what is this freedom? Someone asked me that during the retreat we had this weekend just past and my initial response was ‘Well I think you need to ask that question of yourself; what does freedom mean to you?’ but since then I’ve thought about it some more and I’ve approached it more from the angle of what are...

An invitation to give Order dana

An invitation to give Order dana

From Orden i Sverige on Tue, 15 Aug, 2017 - 09:21

Could you help? As you may know, the Order Office (including Shabda) is funded by all of us in the Order.

This means people like Parami, Lokeshvara, Vimalamati and several others rely on the generosity of every Order member worldwide for their financial support.

They work incredibly hard. But unfortunately they do not get enough money for their needs because not all Order members contribute.

They ask for KR 100 a month...

Sangharakshita's diary

From Triratna News on Wed, 9 Aug, 2017 - 09:57

Sthanashraddha is Bhante’secretary. He writes from Adhisthana, UK:

“Finally, after many weeks of dry and often sunny weather, the grounds and gardens have been treated in the last couple of weeks to downpours of rain, misty drizzle and long gentle overnight soakings. The rock-hard lumps of clay earth are softening again. We’ve also seen this month second broods of moorhens hatching - tiny, little, black golfball-sized fluff, chirruping and calling for their mothers.

A Cool Thing

Wherever the one rain reaches all become fresh and glossy according as their bodies, forms and natures are. Great or small, so the enriching rain though it is one the same makes each of them flourish

The Buddha - Parable of the Rain Cloud
