Meditation this week and something extra .....

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Wed, 2 Nov, 2016 - 01:44

Yesterday evening Gina took me to Sculpture by the Sea. And there I saw these beautiful stupas painted by the setting sun ………

Stupa is the name given to structures like this found all over the Buddhist world. They were created by the Buddha himself when he was asked by his disciples how they might remember him when he was gone. He folded a robe, placed his alms bowl on top and said that was a symbol to represent him...

Writing a Will Part 3: Naming your Executors

From Abhayaratna Trust on Fri, 28 Oct, 2016 - 01:38

Yesterday I asked my brother, ‘Will you be an executor of my will?’ He seemed surprised but agreed. My brother is a solicitor and I’m confident that he will manage all the necessary paper work and legal issues effectively.

‘Why not me?’ asks my mum with curiosity. It opens up a discussion about the reality that when I die, my mum will most likely already be dead, or in the event that I was to die before her, dealing with the practicalities...

Croydon's Meditation for Peace

From Triratna News on Thu, 27 Oct, 2016 - 13:39

Vijayasri reports from Croydon Buddhist Centre, in south London, UK.

“21st September was the International Day of Peace. As Buddhists, one of the great contributions we can make to peace is is our practice of metta. We experience the difference that metta makes in our own community; we have a vision of spiritual community; importantly we have a means to overcome conflict and disharmony.

Sangharakshita asks us to imagine a society where the metta bhavana meditation is regularly practised...
