Transforming Social Inequalities Through Liberation of Self: As part of Manchester Buddhist Centre's International Women's Day event, Satyamuni reflects on whether social and political action is enough to end suffering. She offers an alternative perspective in which the Buddhist Path provides a context for more meaningful and a deeper transformation of the world through a transformation of self.

Las Venezolanas (en Español)

From Buddhist Centre Features on Thu, 27 Apr, 2017 - 17:06

Una conversación de Parami con un maravillosos grupo de mujeres Venezolanas Mitras de la Comunidad Budista Triratna, hablando de la importancia de la practica del Dharma en un país donde hay una enorme turbulencia política y económica.

Su respuesta es clara: en época de guerra lo que la gente necesita es paz y compasión y esto es precisamente lo que el dharma ofrece. Una evocación conmovedora y urgente desde una perspectiva vital.

Some Reflections on the Garava Sutta

From Shabda Articles on Mon, 24 Apr, 2017 - 17:03

One is never too old to learn. It is only relatively late in my Dharma life that I have become more aware of or have focused on the Garava Sutta of the Pali Canon. This is not to say that I did not know of its existence but that it started having a significance for me that it had not had before. What struck me was that the Buddha was giving the hearer a glimpse of the workings of the Buddha-mind. But who was...
