The Diamond Sutra, Sangharakshita and Us (FBA Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 11 Oct, 2025 - 11:00

Bhante Sangharakshita described the Diamond Sutra as one of two books ‘by which I have been most profoundly influenced.’ We could see it as the keystone in the central arch of the architecture of his thinking about the Dharma. In this talk, Satyalila introduces the Sutra in its context of the Perfection of Wisdom (or Prajnaparamita) tradition and explores its significance for Sangharakshita, and for us. Talk given on a Bristol Buddhist Centre Sangha...

Book Review: "The Blind Spot"

From Shabda Articles on Fri, 10 Oct, 2025 - 16:48

Adam Frank, Marcelo Gleiser, and Evan Thompson: The Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience. Cambridge/Mass; London: MIT Press 2024

If you have read Evan Thompson’s book Why I Am Not A Buddhist you may remember him inviting – if not urging – contemporary Buddhists to not only bring the critical potential of traditional Buddhist philosophy and practice to bear on science but also open up to being challenged by science in their assumptions, views and doctrines. In parts, his...

Therigatha är en samling texter från palikanon, med historier om Buddhas kvinnliga lärjungar. De beskriver sin strävan och segrar på vägen till upplysning.

First Retreat for Italian Speakers

From Triratna News on Wed, 8 Oct, 2025 - 18:49

In September we held our first long weekend for Triratna Italian speakers at Adhiṣṭhāna. We had about 12 people on the retreat. Some flew from Italy and other parts of Italy to be with us. We enjoyed studying a passage from Sangharakshita translated into Italian and the retreatants very much enjoyed the chance to participate in Dharma discussion in their mother tongue. It was a very lively discussion group. We also did puja and rituals in Italian.

We hope that...
