LIFE with full ATTENTION

From Frome Triratna Group on Tue, 7 Jan, 2025 - 17:43

A New Year a New You?

We start with good intentions but to keep them up we usually need some help.
Mindfulness helps us work with our thoughts, be more creative, energetic and better able to face life’s challenges.

It is a meditation course based on Buddhist principals, designed for both practice on the cushion and life out in the world. 
Suitable for those new to meditation and those with some experience wishing to more fully establish their practice.

During this retreat, Vessantara explored some of the songs from the chapter The Song of a Yogi’s Joy.* He focused particularly on the instructions about meditation and insight, including Milarepa’s teaching about ‘The Nails (or Key-Points) of View, Meditation and Conduct’.

From Karuna Fundraisers on Fri, 6 Dec, 2024 - 08:46

Plant Tomorrow, Today.

Climate change is hitting the world’s poorest communities the hardest. Families are losing their homes and livelihoods because of floods, droughts, and failing crops. Many don’t have the resources to adapt, but together, we can help.

At Karuna, we’re working with local communities to tackle this crisis by:

1️. Teaching smarter farming techniques that help families grow food even with changing weather.

2️. Planting trees and restoring nature to protect against disasters like floods and landslides.

3️. Supporting local leaders to create lasting, positive change for their communities.
