The Honeyball Sutta

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Sun, 5 Mar, 2017 - 00:00
This talk is part of a series exploring suttas from the Majjhima Nikaya (the middle length discourses of the Buddha). Dharmadipa introduces us to the Honeyball sutta (Madhupindika sutta), a sutta whose name has nothing whatsoever to do with the content! We explore the Buddha's teachings on how to avoid conflict, by lessening our attachment to "perceptions and categories of objectification". This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in February 2017 as part of our regular Saturday morning Sangha class.

The Advice to Rahula

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Sun, 5 Mar, 2017 - 00:00
This talk is part of a series exploring suttas from the Majjhima Nikaya (the middle length discourses of the Buddha). Amaraghosha explores the Pali canon and distinguishes between the meanings of the words "sutta" and sutra". He helps us to understand the Advice to Rahula in the Mango Grove sutta (Ambalatthika-rahulovada Sutta) using a short play. We discover how the Buddha could explain challenging concepts to a young child in ways that are very accessible, using everyday images and stories. Amaraghosha then relates these ideas to our modern lives. This talk was given at Croydon Buddhist Centre in March 2017 as part of the regular Saturday morning Sangha class.

Getting Ready for BAM in Cambridge

From Buddhist Action on Fri, 3 Mar, 2017 - 16:15

We have a new group for Buddhist Action in Cambridge.  At our recent meeting, we discussed plans for BAM activities in June!  They centre around refugee week which is 19-25 June.  Ideas include ‘pledged metta bhavana’ like a run, but instead of miles we’d include hours, a talk by refugee(s) at our Sangha night, raising awareness of the link between climate change and division in society, and we may try to coincide with street celebrations around Jo Cox Sat...
