Of Tigers, Taverns, and Wine

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Tue, 4 Nov, 2014 - 00:00
Talk three of the eight-part series Crazy Wisdom of the Mahasiddhas. The Dharma life requires us to come to terms with the jarring nature of Reality, and the Mahasiddhas unapologetically bring us right up against it, illustrated here through stories of Tigers, Taverns and Wine. We continue on with Naropa and Virupa in a series of strange encounters which challenge understanding.

From Akashavana on Thu, 30 Oct, 2014 - 17:25Mumukshu got news for you: I am very excited about moving to Spain next year to join the community looking after Akashavana, the women’s ordination retreat centre.

I felt very moved by the obvious effect of spending three months...

Winter Retreat 2014

From London Buddhist Centre on Tue, 28 Oct, 2014 - 14:02Experiencing the World of Enlightenment: human life is so often driven by consuming what we want, avoiding what we don’t like, and doing our best to ignore the rest.

Changing our mind changes the world, and the teachings of the Buddha lead to a deepening of our lives. This retreat will explore freedom from our mundane consciousness and help...

Sangha Day at the Shrewsbury Buddhist Group

From Shrewsbury Triratna Buddhist Centre on Sun, 26 Oct, 2014 - 11:34DON’T MISS ….

… Sangha Day on 8 November

This isn’t a coincidence: it’s one of the fruits of a culture of spiritual friendship that lies at the heart of what we do. The Buddha encouraged his disciples to meet in large numbers for the wellbeing of the spiritual community, and our founder, Bhante Sangharakshita, has always...
