From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Fri, 1 Jun, 2012 - 21:16On Friday 5th of May a small group of us meditated on Medborgarplatsen, Stockholm. A great thing to do. This was my view, for a period, if I’d kept my eyes open; which I obviously did for this period. Taken with my IPhone 3GS.
Imagining the Buddha - by Maitreyabandhu. In this talk Maitreyabandhu explores his responses to Aloka’s remarkable new Buddha Rupa in the Padmaloka shrine room. You can see a glimpse of the image itself here.
It’s the International Retreat - and we’ve persuaded a very international collection of dolls to come and join us! They’re hidden around the site, we’re hoping the children will find them one by one and add them to the shrine. Right now they’re pretty busy helping out!

Hi all, here are a few things to bear in mind for the online version of the retreat, which we’ll be running from Friday till Tuesday - and beyond!

From Imagine the Buddha on Thu, 31 May, 2012 - 22:38So, the theme of the retreat is ‘Imagining the Buddha’. We need a related theme for our special Facebook discussion on Monday - but first we need a time! Make your choices here and we’ll try and accommodate as many folk as we can… Thanks!
From Triratna Young Buddhists on Thu, 31 May, 2012 - 22:06I created this video for one of the young people’s meetings of the Ipswich & Colchester group - we were asked to bring some creative source which inspires us.
I took two songs which at some point of my life meant something to me, or gave me some ‘insight’ into life, or the way things are, and put them to images. It’s a bit loud at the start, fair warning!
From Triratna Young Buddhists on Thu, 31 May, 2012 - 21:52This was a video which I made for my Mitra Study project.
