History of South Meeting House

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Sun, 29 Oct, 2017 - 15:40

Someone asked today about the history of the South Meeting House where we are holding our Sangha meetings on Sundays. Here is a very good write up available on Seacoast NH Online:

Whether or not by intent, a large part of the local building community was involved in its construction, producing a building which was simple, yet...

I have been a mitra ( formerly from Cardiff) for 10 years and asked for ordination 7 years ago.

I am aware of 2 mitras in South Cyprus but if anyone wants to meditate or study...

The Buddhist Centre Online, Free Buddhist Audio, Triratna Centre Sites Back Online!

From Buddhist Centre Features on Thu, 26 Oct, 2017 - 13:40

Dear Friends,

Thanks for your many sympathetic messages of support over a rather long and trying 5 days here at Dharmachakra after the loss of most Triratna online sites and services. We really appreciated them!

Read about what happened and how we’ll avoid it in future

After last Thursday’s usually routine disk changes went wrong at our server hosts, Fasthosts UK, the team here endured a fruitless weekend being stonewalled by them (“there was an...

Triratna Amsterdam's new Buddhist centre

From Triratna News on Tue, 17 Oct, 2017 - 13:37

Gunabhadri writes from Amsterdam with a five-minute video about the Amsterdam Buddhist Centre’s move (by bicycle!) to new premises in an old hospital (also home to Mokshagandhi).

“On the full moon evening of Wednesday 6th September the new Amsterdam Buddhist Centre officially opened.

For the last time, we shared an evening meal in our old centre in the Palmstraat and then a lamp was lit and transported to the new location by bicycle, together with a painting of Akshobya...

European Buddhist Union weekend 2017

From Triratna in the Buddhist World on Tue, 17 Oct, 2017 - 11:14

As the ‘Liaison Officer’ for Triratna’s European Chairs’ Assembly, I’m the person who looks after Triratna’s co-operation with other Buddhist traditions on matters of common interest.

Metta in Crescent Heads

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Mon, 16 Oct, 2017 - 21:45

Sitting on my bed this morning in Crescent Heads. Up here with old surf buddies from Adelaide. Most of them are at that stage of life where collectively they’ve created a tribe of young kids. It’s actually a sort of father and sons gig and me, with my 26 year old lad back in Sydney, enjoying the limited freedom of being a friendly uncle.

Money Makes The World Go Round

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Fri, 13 Oct, 2017 - 17:47

What role does money play in our sense of identity, our self-worth and our feelings of personal security? This week we’ll be looking at what the Buddha’s pragmatic, ethical perspective on human happiness has to offer us in a world where money - or the pursuit of it - matters perhaps more than ever. Join us in exploring questions spiritual and economic with our guest speaker Amalavajra, visiting from the UK.
