Karuna Sverige (group)

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Wed, 15 Aug, 2012 - 21:08

Karuna är ett sanskritord som betyder ”medkänsla i handling, grundad på visdom”. Organisationen grundades 1980 av personer knutna till Buddhistiska gemenskapen Triratna (f.d. FWBO/VBV) och vägleds av buddhistiska värderingar. Karuna började arbeta tillsammans med Indiens daliter – en grupp som förtrycks på grund av ett kastsystem som gett dem namnet ”oberörbara”. Buddhismen har haft en viktig frigörande roll för många daliter i Indien. Karuna arbetar numera också med andra utsatta grupper som ursprungsbefolkningar och tibetanska flyktingar. Verksamheten är...

Sailing the Worldly Winds: A Buddhist way through the ups and downs of life

From book reviews on Sat, 11 Aug, 2012 - 00:35‘Sailing the Worldy Winds: A Buddhist Way Through the Ups and Downs of Life’ by Vajragupta. Windhorse Publications, 2011.

This little gem of a book is well worth reading. It is tardis-like: it looks little but synthesises a lot of material. Vajragupta initially introduces the eight worldly winds quite simply, then explores them through Dharma practice, meditation and looking more deeply at the winds in the light of ‘pratitya-samutpada’ or conditioned co-production.
