Health of Dharmacharini Amarashraddha, the Netherlands

From Order Connection on Tue, 26 May, 2015 - 17:40

Dear brothers and sisters,

Amarasraddha has asked me to let you know that three weeks ago she discovered that she has cancer (of the oesophagus and stomach), and three days ago heard that it is inoperable (incurable); she will now be exploring the options of palliative radio and / or chemotherapy. She is tired and needing to take liquid food, but is in positive states of mind and appreciates the support of the practices she has learned.

Please bear her...

The Buddha said the world was “on fire” – burning with greed, hatred, and delusion.

Vaddhaka (whose book on Buddhism and Capitalism - The Buddha On Wall Street - has just been published) will present and compare the ideas of some contemporary Buddhist thinkers, such as...

Myths and Parables From the White Lotus Sutra ; The Eternal Buddha

From London Buddhist Centre on Tue, 26 May, 2015 - 00:00
The Buddha was an historical figure who walked the earth needing food and shelter like the rest of us. But in his essence he was also beyond history. In this talk Jnanavaca explores the relative realities of history and myth, and how by expanding our perception of what we take to be true, we might find true liberation of the heart.
