On Saturday we had our Buddhist Action Day at the North London Buddhist Centre.

We had a full program including meditation, vegan lunch, guerrilla gardening, a short film from Joanna Macy and a ritual to end. Our day started off busy as we had combined our meditation with our Saturday morning meditation class. Santva led us in a double sit where we did the mindfulness of breathing and the metta...

Two Upcoming New Books by Vajragupta and Analayo

From Windhorse Publications on Mon, 26 Jun, 2017 - 10:41

This year we were able to meet the challenges of contemporary publishing and release Mindful Emotion alongside three new volumes of the Complete Works of Sangharakshita. We would like to extend a big thank you to those who made this possible - the books exist due to your collective generosity.

In Winter 2017/Spring 2018, we plan to release two new titles: Anālayo’s A Meditator’s Life of the Buddha: Based on the Early Discourses and Vajragupta’s Wild Awake: Alone, Offline and Aware in Nature.

Triratna: Safeguarding with sincerity and integrity

from Munisha, European Safeguarding officer, Triratna

Dear Friends,

I’m sure, like me, you want to be absolutely sure Triratna is doing its Safeguarding properly, with sincerity and integrity. Over the last nine months I’ve read online much doubt and criticism in this area so I’d like to tell you about this work, so that you can decide for yourself.

I have been developing central Safeguarding policy for Triratna since 2013 and I’d like to reassure you that I am absolutely serious about this work: my family suffered for many years...

FutureDharma Fund believes it can. The only long term solution to suffering is enough movements like ours creating a wave of kindness and wisdom in the world. Only this will transform the forces of...
