Dharma Quiz

From Glasgow Buddhist Centre on Mon, 8 Oct, 2012 - 16:09Recently the Glasgow Buddhist Centre had a party for our volunteers, to say thank you for all their hard work and generosity over the last year. As part of our proceedings we had a Dharma Quiz, devised by Suriyavamsa. We thought this might be of interest to you, either as a fun thing to do yourself, or to offer at a class for a bit of amusement. But beware, some of the questions are fiendish!

The Art of Reflection retreat 4-7 oktober 2012

From Dharmagiri Retreatcenter on Sun, 7 Oct, 2012 - 19:54Under helgen som gick hade vi en härlig retreat på Dharmagiri då vi tog emot en grundad och väldigt klar undervisning från Ratnaguna, och utforskade olika sätt att reflektera på: på egen hand, i par och i en midre grupp. Kanske någon annan som var med vill skriva en liten “intrycksrapport”…?

Här kommer två inspelade body scan från retreaten, som Ratnaguna ledde och Anita spelade in på sin mobil, och jag konverterade till mp3.

He’s sent us an update on their latest initiatives, written by Saddhaloka -
