Metta for Merida - reminder!

From Buddhist Action on Mon, 2 Oct, 2017 - 07:01

A little reminder that metta for Merida is still needed in bucket loads - if you haven’t done so already, do consider following the Metta for Merida page; and suggest at your Buddhist Centre or Triratna Group that a metta bhavana meditation is dedicated to the sangha and all the population in Merida. And then do let the sangha in Merida know! Thank you.

From Order Messenger on Sun, 1 Oct, 2017 - 17:56

Last month I received a resignation letter from Manapa in Seattle, USA. He was ordained at Guhyaloka, Spain in 1993, and I am both his
Public and Private Preceptor. I have accepted the resignation and let him know that. I asked Manapa if I could share his letter with you to which he agreed.

You can read both his letter and my response letter below.

The Path as Symbol: Meditation as Personal Journey

From Dharma Articles on Sat, 30 Sep, 2017 - 17:01

This paper was written as background reading for a recent retreat I led at Taraloka. It is a work in progress and open to all. Any feedback is welcome.

“The path is a symbol, representing the fact that we can change… The path itself is not out there; it is in here. The path simply represents the individual solution to your own particular predicament. If you know and understand yourself as you are now, that puts you in a position to develop...

I had SUCH a good time and thought it was such an excellent event - weaving Buddhafield magic, being outdoors in nature, coming together on the themes of nature, environment, social justice, Buddhist practice and what that all means for us, and a real sense of the...
