NNBY Fundraising

From Triratna Young Buddhists on Thu, 3 Nov, 2016 - 13:51

From Jo Cross:

I am currently fundraising for the NNBY which is a youth organisation set up and run by young Indian Buddhists. The recent trip to India was in conjunction with this charity and myself and the others met a large number of the Buddhists in this network.
 
NNBY is vital to young Indian Buddhists as it gives them a chance to connect with other young people and grow as a Sangha all across India. Buddhism...

Sadhanas and Mula Yogas From The 2016 Conventions

From Order Dharma on Wed, 2 Nov, 2016 - 21:34

We’ve had some requests for Sadhana and Mula Yoga recordings from the 2016 summer Order conventions. 

We posted some at the time (see below). The rest of the recordings are all waiting to be remastered - which is important for longterm use online as they are quite noisy and not so conducive for listening to as one meditates along… It’s a bit different to actually being there!

That said, there are a lot of them...

Writing a Will Part 4: DIY Wills vs. Using a Solicitor

Writing a Will Part 4: DIY Wills vs. Using a Solicitor

From Abhayaratna Trust on Wed, 2 Nov, 2016 - 13:43

The cost of making a will can be off-putting. Writing your own will may be an appealing option; however it is generally advised against, as any mistakes can cause confusion and be costly down the line.

If your will is very straightforward (e.g.  if you are married and simply want to leave everything to your partner) then you might wish to look into the option of writing it yourself. There are plenty of templates available for writing your own will.

Another option might be...

Rejoicing In Merit

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Wed, 2 Nov, 2016 - 00:00
This is a talk in our Transforming Self And World series, in which we are looking at the sevenfold puja. Vijayasri explores the Rejoicing in Merit section of the Puja by considering examples, from different suttas, of the Buddha and other monks rejoicing in the qualities of the people around them. We look at rejoicing in merit as a skilful means which leads to the ends of suffering. This talk starts with the sangha chanting the Refugees and Precepts and concludes with a led meditation on skilful qualities. The talk was given at Croydon Buddhist Centre as part of our regular Saturday morning Sangha class, in 2016.

I wrote this piece some months ago.  Although my general initial comments stand, our situation is now different both following Bhante’s apology, and the hard work being done by senior order members to open up discussion and reach out to people who need to tell their stories.  Much gratitude and admiration to them.  I have also added a postscript which I originally put up as a comment.

Send us a FutureDharma postcard!

From Future Dharma on Mon, 31 Oct, 2016 - 09:00

At FutureDharma Fund we love getting post!  So when we were thinking of the best way of getting in touch with the lovely Triratna community the answer seemed obvious – a postcard.  Throughout the summer we’ve been sending out bundles of FutureDharma Fund postcards to Triratna centres and retreat centres across the world.  They carry a very simple message:

The world needs what you’ve been given.  Pass it on.

FutureDharma Fund is a way for all of us to play our part in taking Triratna...

Ethics as Play

From Dharma Articles on Fri, 21 Oct, 2016 - 20:27

Here’s an article on Buddhist ethics that I wrote last year. My apologies for it being so academic (‘too wordy’, as a friend of mine said). That’s because it was written to for the Oxford Handbook of Buddhist Ethics that’s will be published next year. I think it catches the spirit of how Sangharakshita thinks about ethics, although it’s put in a different language. If the whole thing is too much, but you do want to get the general argument, you can read only...
