We Determine Our Experience of Life

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Tue, 17 Sep, 2013 - 00:23How is your personal practice of meditation going? It is very cool to come along and meditate in a group setting. Actually for most of us it’s essential – at least for periods of time but it is very important that there is also a personal dimension to your meditation practice.

Latin translation of Triratna Texts

From Latin Translation Group on Mon, 16 Sep, 2013 - 17:09

Perhaps our most unusual translation yet - the Latin version of three key Triratna Texts! We’re delighted to present the Three-fold Puja, the Dedication Ceremony, and the Refuges and Precepts - all translated, perhaps somewhat inaccurately, by Google. Suggestions for improvements are welcome, please email us at translations [at] triratnadevelopment.org!  Seriously though, we are in touch with volunteers from the ‘Make Mars Speak Latin’ project, and may have some results to publish soon.

In Memory and Celebration: Seamus Heaney

From Urthona - A Journal of Buddhism and the Arts on Fri, 13 Sep, 2013 - 08:57Seamus Heaney died on August 30th this year at the age of 74 after a short illness – he had taken of fall outside a Dublin restaurant. Physically he had been weaker since a stroke in 2006, but his last collection Human Chain (2010) showed no dimmunition in his powers of sensitivity and reflection. It was described by Ruth Pardell, poet and judge of the Forward Prize, as ‘a collection of painful, honest and delicately weighted poems… a wonderful and...

FBA Dharmabyte: Radical Interconnectedness

From Free Buddhist Audio on Tue, 10 Sep, 2013 - 23:12
In Monday’s FBA Dharmabyte, “Radical Interconnectedness,” Satyanandi looks at radical interconnectedness and the nature of mind as it meets the world.

In the full talk, “How We See the World,” she takes the listener on a very intriguing trip through the myriad worlds of consideration that arise when view, experience and reality meet. Her starting point is science and its various models for how the universe works – from mechanism to quantum physics.
