Survey: calling Buddhist chaplains in north America!

From Triratna in the Buddhist World on Thu, 10 Dec, 2020 - 12:58

The Mapping Buddhist Chaplains in North America Research Survey attempts to answer fundamental questions about Buddhist chaplaincy as a professional field. While several universities have been training and graduating Buddhist chaplains—some for more than a decade—there are no clear data on how many and where Buddhist chaplains are currently working.

If you work, volunteer, or are training for any chaplaincy setting (health care, higher ed, corrections, military—or any other sector) and you self-identify as Buddhist, please complete this survey about your work...

European Buddhist Union condemns abuse by Buddhist teachers

From Triratna in the Buddhist World on Thu, 10 Dec, 2020 - 09:21

Prompted by recent allegations of sexual misconduct on the part of Tibetan teacher Dagri Rinpoche, the European Buddhist Union has published this statement on misconduct by Buddhist teachers.

Triratna has been a very active member of the EBU for many years, sending a series of Liaison officers to its meetings, of which I am the latest. As part of EBU discussions of misconduct in several Buddhist organisations I have talked very openly about the controversial aspects of Triratna’s past. I...

A new audiobook and our latest free eBook

From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 9 Dec, 2020 - 16:30

A new audiobook

One of our best-selling titles has just been released as an audiobook. It’s the award-wining Eight Step Recovery: Using the Buddha’s Teachings to Overcome Addiction by Valerie Mason-John (Vimalasara) and Dr Paramabandhu Groves.

Human nature has an inbuilt tendency towards addiction. Many of us self-medicate in response to hardships, turning to food, drugs, alcohol, sex, relationships, work, and so much more in an attempt to promote happiness. All of us can struggle with these tendencies, but for some it can lead to the...

Making mantras much lovelier on Zoom

From Order Connection on Wed, 2 Dec, 2020 - 10:14

Hi friends,

Leading a Zoom retreat for women in Sweden last week I wondered about how to make Zoom mantras more enjoyable. It’s so sad hearing just one other voice. Well, I wondered, could we sing along with some recorded mantras, perhaps?

So I looked on Free Buddhist Audio and discovered that the wonderful women’s community at Taraloka had actually recorded several 5-minute mantras specifically for online pujas!

Maybe they could do some more, and maybe more of you who live in communities could record some?

It works...
