New Bespoke Buddhist Retreat Centre Coming Soon!

From London Buddhist Centre on Fri, 10 Jul, 2015 - 12:30

Maitrivajri, Vajrasana Project Coordinator, writes;

We are now a third of the way through the building of our new retreat centre. The elegant steel framework for the shrine room and simple precast concrete portal frames for the communal areas have been installed. The accommodation block, which runs parallel to the rear of the site, is taking shape - the concrete block walls are up to roof height - the position of bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets clearly defined.

Commonality Responses

From Order Connection on Wed, 8 Jul, 2015 - 18:10

Difficult Decisions

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Wed, 8 Jul, 2015 - 01:05

Difficult Decisions

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Wed, 8 Jul, 2015 - 01:05

Life often contains difficult decisions

There really are so many paths we can take and ways we can respond. Meditation doesn’t take away these challenges but it does provide a more calm, quiet space in which to reflect on them and gestate kind and creative options that take all involved into consideration. 

Meditation makes us less habitual and more creative.

I hope you can join us for meditation this week:

Thursday         7 – 8.30 pm

Sunday        8 – 8.50 am

May all beings be well and happy

Padmadakini and Dharmalata
