Ratnaguna - Transforming Self (Triratna International Gathering 2019)

From Triratna International Gathering 2019: Alchemy of the Dharma on Sat, 24 Aug, 2019 - 00:22

A wonderful first talk of the 2019 International Gathering, whose theme is ‘Alchemy of the Dharma’. The utterly delightful Ratnaguna takes us through the true miracle of transforming ourselves via the magic of a practice in which we also learn to let ourselves change. 

This is a beautiful, reflective, funny take on the challenges of the Dharma life. Ratnaguna’s breadth of reference is itself a joy: taking in Greek philosophy, Hans Christian Andersen, and writings on the nearness of death to life...

Meditation: Transform Self and World with Stillness and Simplicity

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Sun, 18 Aug, 2019 - 19:52

A four week introductory course on Thursday evenings Sept 12 to Oct 3, 7-9pm.

Meditation is not only a way of cultivating internal integration and contentment, it can be taken up as a form of activism that directly counters rampant consumerism. 

It’s easy to feel disheartened and perhaps even powerless in relation to societal difficulties and the effects of climate change. If we’re conscientious, we tend to make changes in our lives that support a more effective social dialogue, and reduce our environmental footprint. These...
