It's So Simple But .......

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Tue, 22 Aug, 2017 - 02:35

It’s so simple but …….

Our two basic practices are so straightforward and the aims of each very clear:

Mindfulnes of our breath = Stopping and noticing

Metta Bhavana = Kindness to self and other

Lots of us don’t doubt the value of cultivating a mind secured by these qualities but we struggle to gain momentum and consistency in practising them.

So …….. just recognise this in a kindly, clear way. Find small, non-demanding moments and spaces in your day (or night) to...

We are pleased to present a review of a new book from Windhorse Publications on the therapeutic use of mettā or kindness by Paramabandhu and Jed Shamel – reviewed by Paul Wielgus, himself a mindfulness teacher.

Mindful Emotion: A Short Course in Kindness by Paramabandhu Groves and Jed Shamel, Windhorse Publications, Cambridge, 2017.

Meditation = Freedom

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Tue, 15 Aug, 2017 - 11:05

Meditation = Freedom

The Buddha taught that the goal of all his teaching and practice was freedom. But what is this freedom? Someone asked me that during the retreat we had this weekend just past and my initial response was ‘Well I think you need to ask that question of yourself; what does freedom mean to you?’ but since then I’ve thought about it some more and I’ve approached it more from the angle of what are we...

An invitation to give Order dana

From Orden i Sverige on Tue, 15 Aug, 2017 - 09:21

Could you help? As you may know, the Order Office (including Shabda) is funded by all of us in the Order.

They work incredibly hard. But unfortunately they do not get enough money for their needs because not all Order members contribute.

They ask for KR 100 a month from each Order member...
