In this series of three talks, Subhuti continues his well-known Rambles Around Reality at the LBC, this time enquiring into the nature of consciousness from the point of view of Urgyen Sangharakshita's particular presentation of the Dharma.



1. The Ineffibility of Consciousness: We cannot truly define consciousness because it is not objectifiable. This is the key to its potentiallity.

CONSCIOUSNESS UNFOLDS Talk TWO

From London Buddhist Centre on Fri, 15 Nov, 2013 - 00:00
In this series of three talks, Subhuti continues his well-known Rambles Around Reality at the LBC, this time enquiring into the nature of consciousness from the point of view of Urgyen Sangharakshita's particular presentation of the Dharma.

2. Consciousness and the Five Skandhas: It is our misinterpretation of the elements of our experience, especially consciousness, that leads to our entrapment and suffering.

awake @ work

From dharma@work on Thu, 14 Nov, 2013 - 20:47Being awake @ work – There is a lot of talk in Buddhism about “doing” and “being” – how can we do less and be more? Can we be a human being rather than a human doing? Most of us feel pushed by our work demands, pushed to do more, quicker, faster, in less time than ever before. It is as if the “doing” mode is winning out over the “being” mode. Of course we need to “do” both…we need...

november news from the community

From Akashavana on Wed, 13 Nov, 2013 - 11:172013 marked a turning point for Akashavana as our most full and fruitful year to date. Since March we have welcomed over 100 mitras and Dharmacharinis on our two ordination retreats, five Order retreats and as volunteers. It’s been a rich experience not only for the community, but also for the women coming here for their first time, or as return visitors.

All the help offered by our volunteers allowed us to make great strides on preserving the buildings...

$1000 to change the world

From Triratna News on Tue, 12 Nov, 2013 - 17:00If you were given US $1000 to plant a seed for world change, what would you do with it?

Every day, The Pollination Project awards $1000 seed grants to individuals working for social change. Last summer they decided to award grants to 20 North American teachers who were changing the world. Their eyes lighted upon San Francisco Order member Dayamudra.

An English teacher in San Francisco, Dayamudra spends a month every year teaching ...

Föredrag av Guhyavajra

Föredrag av Guhyavajra

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Tue, 12 Nov, 2013 - 14:41Hej alla Triratna-vänner,


Gårdagens personliga föredrag var något speciellt. Guhyavajra pratade otroligt ärligt och inspirerande om sitt liv, från enkla förhållanden i Nya Zeeland, via en hel del experimenterande, kollektivboende, intagande av olika ‘substanser’, kontakten med buddhismen, Triratna (särskilt den tidiga tiden, under början av 1980-talet) och olika möten med Sangharakshita. Guhyavajra är en av dem i Triratna som haft en väldigt rak och givande kontakt med Sangharakshita. I morse berättade han lite mer för mig, underbart. Jag...

Siéntate, Celebra Tu Vida! - Metta Hacia Uno Mismo

From Centro Budista de Valencia on Tue, 12 Nov, 2013 - 00:00
En esta charla exploramos la primera etapa de la meditación mettabhavana. Metta es amor, amor incondicional, es decir que amarse a 'uno mismo' no tiene que ver con simplemente amar nuestra buenas cualidades y características positivas. Tal vez te sorprenda, pero Metta hacia 'uno mismo' supone abrazar todo nuestro ser, lo que nos gusta como lo que no gusta, cuando tenemos éxito y cuando fracasamos. Esta aceptación amorosa de ti mismo te da confianza ya que estas cultivando un conexión autentica y profunda con lo que es experiencia humana y aprendes a transformar tu emociones negativas en positiva sin reprimir ni identificarte con las mismas.

También se exploran temas como: Cual es la diferencia entre 'aprecio a uno mismo' y el autoestima.

Esta charla fue ofrecida en Noviembre 2013, en el Centro Budista de Valencia en el contexto del Retiro Urbano Internacional.
