From Triratna Translations on Thu, 14 Jun, 2012 - 14:13

There’s a very good basic introduction to Buddhism and Meditation in Danish available at buddhistmeditation.dk . Many thanks to Advayasiddhi in Denmark for creating this.

On this space we have some translations of basic Triratna texts and ceremonies into Danish. So far there’s the Dedication Ceremony and the Seven-Fold Puja (including the Refuges and Precepts). Over on Soundcloud there’s also recordings of some of these being read in Danish on...

What is Enlightenment?

From Norwich Buddhist Centre on Thu, 14 Jun, 2012 - 13:12

The Norwich Buddhist Centre celebrated Buddha Day on 13 May 2012. Alokadhara led us through a morning sesshin of meditation and readings, interspersed with chantings of the Shakyamuni mantra led by Vajragupta. After a shared lunch, Sujana gave this incisive and humorous talk entitled “What Is Enlightenment?”. Without giving any definitive answers, he explored Enlightenment in terms of perspective, the ways we practice, and what it is.

The History of and Value in Team-Based Right Livelihood

From Windhorse Evolution on Thu, 14 Jun, 2012 - 10:19

In his first visit to Windhorse: Evolution for several years Subhuti gives a rousing talk on some of the history behind team-based Right Livelihood within the Triratna Buddhist Movement.

He then goes on to explain why it is so important; because it represents an opportunity to live a ‘full’ Buddhist life for ourselves and present society with an alternative to consumerism and the myth of progress through buying a bigger TV…

Being an Individual Within a Collective Practice

From Windhorse Evolution on Thu, 14 Jun, 2012 - 10:16

A talk by Parami given at Windhorse:Evolution. It’s good stuff too - her usual enthusiatic exploration of the earthy and ethereal details of everyday spiritual practice, especially within the framework of a sense of the ‘collective’. Some great and pretty funny stories from early, would-be-revolutionary experiments with co-operative working (“The opiate of the masses has arrived!”), and some wise words from her subsequent experience of trying to square the circle of dealing with one’s own individuality within a working sangha.

Energy At Its Most Abundant

From Windhorse Evolution on Thu, 14 Jun, 2012 - 10:13

Here’s a talk by Parami on ‘virya’ - ‘energy in pursuit of the good’, given at Windhorse:Evolution, a large and successful Buddhist team-based right livelihood business. But its concerns are certainly not parochial - a good, strong (sometimes even idealistic!) evocation of the co-operative spirit of Buddhist work and of spiritual practice in general, with particular reference to Shantideva’s ‘Bodhicharyavatara’. The Bodhisattvas descend, the Bodhichitta is called down, and Parami is off and rolling on her favourite subject… With a...
