Te reo Māori descriptor for the Wellington Buddhist Centre

From Wellington Buddhist Centre on Wed, 11 Sep, 2019 - 06:32

10th September was a very special evening at the Wellington Buddhist Centre, as we launched our te reo Maori (Maori language) descriptor. The WBC Council had formally adopted the descriptor in July and we decided we’d launch it with a bit of a celebration during Maori language week.

“Maranga mai ki te Māramatanga”

A pithy translation - “Wake up and be enlightened”
A fuller version - “Rise up, aspire to enlightened wisdom and compassion”.

As part of our evening Dennis gave as all...

Bulletins from the Dhamma Revolution Indian Dhammacharis make short tour of UK Centres

From India Dhamma Trust: "At the heart of a peaceful Dhamma Revolution" on Tue, 3 Sep, 2019 - 15:34

At the time of writing, several Indian Order Members are participating at the International Council at Adhisthana. Next week they will be travelling to Centres in the UK to offer insight into the difference the Dharma and Triratna have made to their lives. From the conditioning of so called ‘untouchability’, embracing the new identity and consciousness offered through the Buddha’s teaching, is an inspiring example of how their, and all, lives can be transformed. We invite you to come...

Triratna News recently reported from the 16th Shakyadhita conference, held in the Blue Mountains, Australia in June. This conference was attended by Kusalacitta (Australia) and Karunadeepa and Tarahridaya (India) and here we publish their full reports.

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...
