Other things you could do to help people in Venezuela

From metta for merida on Sat, 5 Aug, 2017 - 13:47

As well as helping to organise groups to send metta to everyone in Venezuela, which I believe can make a real difference, you may feel like helping out in other, more practical ways. Sometimes people ask me if they can send food parcels or medicines, but unfortunately that is not possible, parcels would never make it through customs.

However, there are some things which you might be able to do to help…

  • Offer friendship online to people in the Sangha
  • Do you have an old smart

What does this gardener know about investments?

What does this gardener know about investments?

From Future Dharma on Thu, 27 Jul, 2017 - 16:01

Sanghadeva loans some of his savings to Triratna Projects.

When you meet Sanghadeva you realise how much he values community. As his name would suggest, he’s all about sangha - he’s been living and working in communities for over 36 years.

Sanghadeva was one of the first people to move to Adhisthana in 2012. When the small community of Order members arrived to live, practise and work together there, they began to rebuild and convert the buildings around themselves. There was no central heating;...

Day 8 report from the ECA summer meeting

From European Chairs' Assembly on Tue, 25 Jul, 2017 - 15:32

Here in Suffolk, UK, days come and go, the rain pours down, the duck family continues to parade around (see previous report), and the Chairs are still meditating, doing puja, chatting, walking and listening to presentations and small groups.

They’ve looked at the work of Triratna’s Translations Board; members of the College and Adhisthana Kula have visited to explain the work they’re doing to address painful aspects of Triratna’s past; and the ECA’s Safeguarding officer, Munisha, has...

Eight Step Recovery Changing Lives

From Windhorse Publications on Tue, 25 Jul, 2017 - 10:20

In 2013 we published Eight Step Recovery: Using the Buddha’s Teachings to Overcome Addiction by Valerie Mason-John (Vimalasara) and Dr Paramabandhu Groves. Since then, the book has won two prestigious awards: the 2014 USA Best Book Awards and the 2015 International Book Awards. An international Eight Step Recovery movement has emerged, with regular courses and meetings in the UK, Finland, the US, Canada and Mexico.

We are pleased at this success story -...
