batik sangha art at the international gathering

From Triratna International Gathering 2017 - What The World Needs Now on Thu, 18 May, 2017 - 15:12

A beautiful aspect of the International Gathering of 2014 was the collective and collaborative creation of a beautiful backdrop to the shrine. 

We are lucky to Sarah Jones, the artist, come back to the Gathering this year to help create something just as beautiful, with the plan to involve as many people as possible help make it! Except that she will not be called ‘Sarah Jones’ anymore as at this very moment she is at Akashavana, the women’s ordination retreat centre, and will be...

From Buddhist Action on Thu, 18 May, 2017 - 13:50

These stories were translated into textile artworks and exhibited...

Como Las Enseñanzas Budistas Pueden Ayudarnos En Las Adidciones

From Centro Budista de Valencia on Thu, 18 May, 2017 - 01:00
Charla pronunciada en el Centro Budista de Cuernavaca (México) en la que Silamani aborda cómo las enseñanzas budistas, y en particular las cuatro nobles verdades pueden ser de ayuda para el manejo de las adicciones. Tenemos una tendencia a pensar y hacernos una imagen de los adictos como personas que están totalmente perturbadas.. o una persona que es adicta a sustancias como las drogas (alcohol, heroína, cocaína, somníferos…). Sin embargo si tenemos en cuenta que la adicción es una afición extrema a algo, muy probablemente todos los seres humanos somos adictos a algo; especialmente a nuestro ego.

invitation to a post-prandial pulchritude!

invitation to a post-prandial pulchritude!

From Triratna International Gathering 2017 - What The World Needs Now on Wed, 17 May, 2017 - 16:45

Who could resist calling an event a post-prandial pulchritude? Not I  … 

An alternative title for this event could be ‘The Culture Hour’ and refers to the time after lunch, from 2.30-3.30pm during the International Gathering, when we will be offered cultural delights and feasts for the senses, after we have partaken in the more earthly feast for the body in form of Buddhafield catering. 

Vidyaruci is hosting this event and so far he can confirm the offering for Saturday 26th August: 

“Classical Piano with Akashadeva. Akashadeva is...

Faith versus secular Buddhism - study with Saccanama

From Triratna International Gathering 2017 - What The World Needs Now on Wed, 17 May, 2017 - 09:11

We are lucky to have Saccanama, who lives at Adhisthana, offering a study group at the International Gathering on the theme of “Faith versus secular Buddhism”.

He says about the study theme - “Secular Buddhism is a widespread influence in the modern world. In this study group we will ask whether it’s really the Dharma. What are the consequences of practice without the faculties of faith and Imagination?”

Saccanama works for the Preceptors’ College and co-leads some of the residential courses there.He also developed the Dharma Training...

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Wed, 17 May, 2017 - 01:00
What was the Buddha really like? Jayabodhi explores this important question with particular emphasis on how this is related to out own lives and how we may follow in the footsteps of the Buddha ourselves.
