Transformar El Mundo Transformándose Uno Mismo - Mindfulness Y Compassion

From Centro Budista de Valencia on Sun, 19 May, 2013 - 01:00
En esta charla exploraremos como la atención consciente y la compasión pueden abrazar completamente nuestra experiencia, permitiéndonos ser conscientes de los impulsos humanos básicos y a la vez hacer elecciones creativas y amables basadas en nuestra dirección y propósito de vida, en nuestros valores e ideales.

La transformación no implica que debamos 'hacer' algo. Tal vez sea necesario 'dejar de hacer', dejar guiarnos por este imperativo de la sociedad moderna. Como dice Sangharákshita: 'la conciencia es en sí misma transformativa'.

Basado en el Satipatthana sutta o fundamentos de la atención consciente, el Madhupundika sutta o sutta bolita de miel, el Sallatha sutta o sutta de las dos flechas.

También se exploran algunos puntos contacto entre el budismo y la ciencia. Acercando los últimos trabajos de investigación científica sobre mindfulness y la compasión de parte de P. Gilbert, K. Neff, M. Williams y C. Germer

Special Assignment: 1993

From Dharma Tape History Detectives on Tue, 14 May, 2013 - 05:02
Recently, HQ contacted the Detectives on special assignment: Locate and digitize Dhammadinna’s 1993 talk “Dimensions of Refuge.”

Amazingly, this detective had not one but two copies of this rare cassette deep in the storage chambers also known as the coat closet. The first copy proved to be too badly damaged to rescue. It suffers either from bad bleed-through, or it has become a channel of paranormal activity from some great beyond. Since the latter is outside the scope...

Spiritual Death and Radical Transformation

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Tue, 14 May, 2013 - 01:00
In this rousing talk Maitreyabandhu goes into where Buddhism begins: with ourselves as we are and with the awake Buddha. But we don't really know either ourselves or the Buddha. He emphasises that we don't know because we so easily assume we know, or fix or lessen the goal. So what do we do? There are three approaches we need to balance and four things we have to do, to close the gap between the awake Buddha and us who are as yet unawake. Given at Sangha Night, 13 May 2013.
