Stockholm: the sleeping giant awakes

From Triratna News on Thu, 22 Dec, 2016 - 15:27

After 24 years in a basement under the yard behind a block of flats, the Stockholm sangha has risen up! Thanks to the force that is Vajradarshini, our Chair, the first weekend in December saw us move into former shop premises on a busy main street at 89 Hornsgatan.

Christmas Meditation

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Wed, 21 Dec, 2016 - 06:20

This week:

Thursday: 7 - 8.30 pm

Sunday (Christmas Day): Jim will be leading meditation at 8 am - 8.50 am

One fella is a tradie who’s been doing work for me at the community

He’s a very keen meditator: four in the morning stuff and despite the commitment to practice that he’s had over many years now he still has to struggle with up and down mental states and relationship issues that can challenge him deeply.

The best support I felt I could give as...

Barrie Cotterell is a Mitra in northern Cyprus, where he runs a Buddhist meditation group. He writes:

“Here’s a video to introduce our group in Karaman, a village in Northern Cyprus (the Turkish part). I was at the Cardiff Buddhist Centre (Wales, UK) for 8 years before retiring and moving to Cyprus late in 2015. I have also asked for ordination.
