First Triratna retreat held in Turkey

From Triratna News on Wed, 11 Jul, 2012 - 05:55Vajracaksu, Triratna’s lone Turkish Order Member, writes with an update from Istanbul - including news of the first-ever Turkish retreat! He says - “Hello Triratna News, it’s been a long time since I gave you all some news. Things ‘Triratna’ are slowly developing here in Turkey, ‘slowly’ however is definitely the operative word. Usually I give three to five classes a week, numbers are usually very small, anything from 1 to 8 people usually.

First glance at the 2012 Buddhafield Festival program

From Buddhafield on Tue, 10 Jul, 2012 - 17:58
Lokabandhu again, reporting on the huge range of beneficial activities to engage in at Buddhafield. Workshops in everything from Ecstatic Dance to Permaculture, as well as lots of different Buddhist groups offering spaces and time for practice. Lots of grooviness (brilliant music, wonderful food!), beautiful healing and body spaces, and lots of opportunities to go deeper and connect with others. Go get yourself a ticket if you haven’t already and experience the wonder of the Festival for yourself!

Respectable

From London Buddhist Centre on Tue, 10 Jul, 2012 - 14:38

Respectable

From London Buddhist Centre on Tue, 10 Jul, 2012 - 14:38One danger of any spiritual movement is to become respectable - to behave how others expect you to, to fit into the cultural norms of a particular time and place. The Buddha wasn’t respectable - he challenged the conventions of his day, and challenged people to change.

Padmasambhava's Advice to the Three Fortunate Women

From Glasgow Buddhist Centre on Tue, 10 Jul, 2012 - 01:00
This talk was given at the Glasgow Buddhist Centre in 2010.

Padmolka looks at the first section of Padmasambhava's Advice to The Three Fortunate Women from The Life and Liberation of Padmasambhava. She begins by saying a bit about Padmasambhava subduing the demons of Tibet and the circumstances around the time when this teaching is given.

Padmasambhava is asked for a short, practical teaching which can be learned by heart to help Queen Nang Chung to practice the Dharma and ultimately lead her to Buddhahood.

She then goes through the verse, pulling out it's themes and meaning.
