50 Years, 50 Voices: Ratnakumar (Highlights)

From Buddhist Voices on Thu, 17 May, 2018 - 15:00

I asked him, “If I would go there, will I get food?” And he said “Yes, obviously there will be a feast and you can have enough to eat.” And I thought then, “I’ll go.”

Ratnakumar’s Annals
In 1968 I wasn’t born.

In 1978 I wasn’t born.

In 1988 I was four years old, having been born into a low caste Hindu family in Orissa.

Could you be the new Nordic Order convenor?

Could you be the new Nordic Order convenor?

From Orden i Sverige on Tue, 15 May, 2018 - 08:23

Still nobody has forward to take up the role of Nordic regional order convenor (and delegate to the International council).

So - what to do? Advayasiddhi suggests the following:

* Everyone please have a think again, talk to each other, maybe someone forgot to reply?
* Also, consider being ‘just’ nordic order convenor, without the International Council bit?

or talk to Advayasiddhi about what it means? triratnaordereurope@gmail.com

If no-one comes forward, we will have to find new ways to organise...

From Buddhist Voices on Thu, 10 May, 2018 - 15:00

I had been looking for so long.  And then I saw my first woman Order Member. And that was like the ‘fourth sight’… that inspired me to go for refuge.

It’s not something that has to do with ideas and concepts… It’s about more practical wholeness, with your heart.

Why I Keep Meditating

Why I Keep Meditating

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Mon, 7 May, 2018 - 04:06

Meditating isn’t exciting. It sometimes feels like hard work, especially as winter approaches and mornings can be cold and bed is so yummy! And yet I’m very committed to it and would hate to be without it. Why?

For me meditation gives me the best chance of finding positive, life giving responses to …. well …. everything. It helps me sort myself out in a very basic, fundamental way. And you’ll probably agree that life regularly throws up...

50 Years, 50 Voices: Manjusvara (Highlights)

From Buddhist Voices on Thu, 3 May, 2018 - 15:00

Who needs perfection?  

Perfection is useless in the human life…

Listen to two component conversations with Manjusvara—and subscribe to the Buddhist Voices podcast for more full-length recordings from Fifty Years, Fifty Voices.

***

A few months ago I remembered that I’d heard a talk Manjusvara gave in 2007 called ‘20 years in the WBO’ on the 20th anniversary of his ordination. I thought it might contain some useful material for this project, so I looked it up on Free Buddhist Audio, only to discover that it...
