Celebrating friendship with discounted books

From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 26 Jul, 2023 - 15:00

Our teacher, Sangharakshita, described the order he founded as ‘a network of friendships’, and I’ve come back from the retreat with a renewed sense of gratitude for the many and varied friendships in my life, particularly my friendships with other ‘Dharma farers’. A focus on this type of friendship, what Sangharakshita called ‘spiritual friendship’, is one of the six distinctive emphases that Sangharakshita gave the Triratna Buddhist Community.

From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 19 Jul, 2023 - 10:00

As a part of Adhisthana’s 10th anniversary programme, Ratnadharini and a team of College Members, along with the International Order and Movement Convenors led a retreat for Preceptors, Presidents, Chairs, Order and Mitra Convenors.

Want to get better at the Mindfulness of Breathing?

From Adhisthana on Tue, 11 Jul, 2023 - 09:50

The Mindfulness of Breathing is the practice that gives us a structure to take our awareness into the breath, the body, the feelings, the mind and the nature of phenomena.

Over the past six weeks Dhammarati has been leading a series on the Anapanasati Sutta - the Buddha’s instructions on this practice. This Q&A session was offered to the 200 people on the course; watch for a sneak-peak at what next week’s Order retreat on the Satipatthana will be like. There...

Meditation Weekend for Order members
