More Advice From the Zen Master – Read Dōgen!

From Western Buddhist Review on Tue, 5 Dec, 2017 - 18:27

We present another review by Vidyavajra, this one of Brad Warner’s second book re-interpreting the great Zen Master Dōgen for the present day:

Brad Warner, It Came From Beyond Zen! More Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan’s Greatest Zen Master, New World Library, 2017 (£15 pback)

review by Vidyavajra

As I start a review of another book by Brad Warner, I am conscious that, should I be so inclined, I could just rehash my previous review of Don’t Be A Jerk. Comment on the pulp sci-fi...

Southampton's first centre - in a pub

From Triratna News on Tue, 5 Dec, 2017 - 12:00

The second weekend of September this year saw the opening of the well-established Southampton sangha (UK)’s first centre, in a disused pub, complete with intriguingly re-designed pub sign.

Chair Sudharshini tells us about the project and the redesign, created by architect Abhayanara, also responsible for the re-design of Adhisthana and Triratna’s Shrewsbury centre.

Zondag 10 December dag over en met werken in meditatie

From Boeddhistisch Centrum Arnhem on Tue, 5 Dec, 2017 - 10:26

Van 10-16 uur een dag met meditatie en over meditatie. We gaan verder in op OLLI, een methode om te werken met wat er gebeurt in je meditatie. Dat betekent ook: ontspannen, loslaten, laten gaan. Werken betekent niet automatisch hard bezig zijn, het betekent ook je eigen patronen leren zien, niet grijpen maar loslaten, ontspannen, genieten, vreugde van het mediteren ervaren. Voor koffie en thee wordt gezorgd, graag eigen lunch meebrengen. Op Dana basis.

Reviewing How The Preceptors' College Works

From Adhisthana Kula on Mon, 4 Dec, 2017 - 14:09

The College of Public Preceptors has been growing and its make-up is changing. By next year we could have 45 active members, and it will inevitably continue to grow as the movement expands and more public preceptors are needed. Many of the founding generation still in the College have been coming together in all sorts of meetings and gatherings for 40 years. Quite a number of them are now approaching 70, or are already into their 70s. We...

Green Earth Awakening

From Triratna News on Mon, 4 Dec, 2017 - 13:19

In the latest NewsByte, Clear Vision looks back at Buddhafield’s Green Earth Awakening festival, held 20th-24th September this year, when Buddhists of several traditions came together with non-Buddhists and activists and campaigners for a few days’ camping in the Blackdown Hills in Devon, UK.

As Buddhafield say on their website, “The Green Earth Awakening is a convergence of engaged Buddhism, community living, land skills, and creative responses [leading] towards social resilience.”
