Flash sale of Bhikkhu Anālayo's books

From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 1 Feb, 2023 - 10:00

In this blog post, we’re focusing on the books of scholar-monk Bhikkhu Anālayo. Windhorse Publications published his first book on Satipaṭṭhāna nearly twenty years ago. Since then, we’ve published many of his classic practice-based translations, interpretations, and applications of early Buddhist suttas on mindfulness, compassion, and emptiness. He has revived the study of Early Buddhism with his scholarship, and led many practice retreats around the world.

From Japanese on Sat, 28 Jan, 2023 - 21:42

Hello all,

The beginning of 2023 at Akashavana

From Akashavana on Wed, 25 Jan, 2023 - 15:12

As I write, the sun is streaming in through the window heralding warmer days to come…we’re still very much in winter with a smattering of snow on the ground and ice in our buckets and outdoor washing bowls.

Padmasakhi and I returned to the community house last week from our winter sojourn in the UK and are gradually picking up the threads that we will weave into this year’s retreat season - beginning with the 11 week ordination retreat which begins...

Communication Exercise from Our Transgender Retreat

From People to People, Nagpur, India. on Sun, 22 Jan, 2023 - 14:53

It is seen in India, in the society, the members of the transgender community experience daily ‘neglection’ and are ‘avoided’ by the people on road when they ask for help. People respond badly. They feel deep down pain and sadness.
