5 Years Of The Buddhist Centre Online: #6 Engaged Buddhism

From Buddhist Centre Features on Wed, 18 Jul, 2018 - 17:38

“It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act. There are two aspects to action. One is to overcome the distortions and afflictions of your own mind, that is, in terms of calming and eventually dispelling anger. This is action out of compassion. The other is more social, more public. When something needs to be done in the world to rectify the wrongs, if one is really concerned with benefiting others, one needs to be engaged, involved.” - The Dalai Lama

Summer Programme

Summer Programme

From Buddhism in Great Yarmouth, Gorleston and Lowestoft on Wed, 4 Jul, 2018 - 15:28

Hi everyone. We have an outline for our summer programme. We’ll be listening to talks and doing things based around the Mandala of the Five Jinnas. A Mandala is many things but you could think of it as a symbolic representation of ‘reality’; it maps how the pieces of the whole fit together. In this case our Mandala maps how various aspects of the Buddha’s Wisdom and Enlightenment complement and augment each other. We’ll link this to the actual setting...

Triratna Dharma Teaching and Training

From Community Highlights on Mon, 2 Jul, 2018 - 10:27

The Sikkha Project aims to develop an integrated, progressive spiritual training in Triratna at every level of experience from newcomers to the Order, to discover and share how the different elements of our system are taught and practiced most effectively – and to create resources and training to fill any gaps.

Here are a set of conversations from a small, first gathering in 2017 of Dharma teachers in the Triratna Buddhist Community to discuss the project, looking at Dharma training throughout Triratna.
