Coming on retreat for the first time?

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Tue, 21 Aug, 2012 - 13:54Jo writes:
It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything on our blog. We do now have a Facebook page for short pieces of information, but this wonderful piece was written by Emmy very soon after her first retreat here this year. She came on the Metta Retreat in March and there’s another one running from the 1st-5th October 2012. It’s a great read and a lovely reminder of that feeling of discovering Taraloka for the first time…

Today's Dharmabyte: "The Four Sangharahavastus"

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 20 Aug, 2012 - 15:25Today’s FBA Dharmabyte, “The Four Sanghrahavastus” takes us into the heart of the Mahayana tradition – the Four Means of Unification of the spiritual community – generosity, kindly speech, beneficial activity, and exemplifying. The Sutra’s hero, Vimalakirti, was a master of the Bodhisattva’s ‘Skilful Means.’


From the talk “On Being All Things to All Men” by Sangharakshita, given in the series: “The Inconceivable Emancipation – Themes from the Vimalakirti Nirdesha.”

Beauty On the Spiritual Path

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Mon, 20 Aug, 2012 - 00:00
Speaking on an open meditation retreat at Taraloka, August 2012, Kavyasiddhi gently explores the notion of beauty, from Jackie magazine to spiritual friendship and the wholeness of the present moment.

She adds, this is quite a slow paced talk, perfect for nodding off.
