Young Facilitators Kula (group)

From Triratna Young Buddhists on Tue, 23 Feb, 2016 - 15:03

This is the portal for all young facilitators to share resources, ideas and inspirations. It’s envisaged as a knowledge pool for members of the kula to draw on to take their young Buddhist group to the next level, and a way of rejoicing in what’s going well.

So what has worked for you? The sorts of things that you could post are:

  • Ideas for themes
  • Publicity images/strategies
  • Recordings/videos of talks
  • Photos
  • Retreat ideas
  • Quick updates on how your last event went
  • Upcoming plans
  • Questions and challenges
  • Whatever you think will help others and keep a connection within this kula…

Share away!

Somerset Maugham’s novel ‘The Razor’s Edge’ adapted into a movie was one of the seminal influences that turned me into both a meditator and a Buddhist. 
I saw the Bill Murray version in the 80’s but the original starred Tyrone Power. Interestingly a Buddhist house painter and passionate Vipassana meditator who I’ve got to know over recent years also cites this story as a profound influence on his spiritual path. So much so...

Resignation of Jnanarakshita

From Order Connection on Mon, 22 Feb, 2016 - 19:48

Dear Order Members,

Jnanarakshita/Danus Blanchard has written the resignation letter below to me as his Public Preceptor. Dharmachari Jnanarakshita asked to be suspended about two years ago whilst he worked on various issues. He has remained in regular contact with friends in the Order and with myself over this time.

Dharmasri - An Introduction to Spiritual Death

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Sun, 21 Feb, 2016 - 00:00
In this wide-ranging talk, Dharmasri continues our exploration of The Journey and The Guide by introducing the concept of spiritual death. Dharmasri asks us to consider the need for spiritual death as we grow towards Enlightenment, but reminds us of the need to be working from a base of integration and positive emotion before we explore this. We need to be a healthy, happy, human being before we have the resources to approach this topic in depth. This talk was given at Croydon Buddhist Centre on 20th February 2016 as part of the regular Saturday Morning Sangha class.
