Buddhist Action Month (BAM!) 2016

From Earth Metta Sangha on Thu, 12 May, 2016 - 12:46

In the lead up to June, I’m ruminating on some of the new green precepts I might take on. Please let us know what you are thinking about, too!

Currently, I find reflection to be meaningful in this context, because it adds weight and meaning to what I may choose to undertake.  Failure is always disheartening, but this can be avoided through advance thought. Since preparation is crucial to the success and quality of any undertaking (including meditation, sports, gardening, etc.), in the case...

Death and Dying - what will you do?

Death and Dying - what will you do?

From Abhayaratna Trust on Tue, 10 May, 2016 - 13:04

In my fantasies I am exempted from the general truth of death.
But that is a delusion, and death will come to me, even me, as well.’ 

– The Four Reminders, Vishvapani

Despite this truth, we often shy away from talking about death and dying. By opening up this conversation, and by taking steps to make your wishes known to friends and family, you can ensure that your wishes and choices are respected.  What are your funeral wishes? Who would you like to benefit...

Friendship

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Wed, 4 May, 2016 - 04:19

Friendship


My Buddhist teacher Sangharakshita has made the Buddha’s claim that friendship is the whole of the spiritual life core to the order I belong to. 


In response to one of his disciple’s claim that friendship is half of the spiritual life he famously replied ‘Say not so Ananda, say not so … friendship is the whole of the spiritual life’


We need each other to grow and develop. Friends encourage, give feedback, hold us accountable and simply support...

Birth of a book: Choosing childlessness

From Triratna News on Tue, 3 May, 2016 - 23:51

Kamalamani writes from Bristol, UK about her new book: Other than mother: choosing childlessness with life in mind.

In my late teens and early 20s I used to say that I would have children by the time I was 30. It was only on a Going for Refuge retreat at Tiratanaloka (in Wales) when I was 27 that I realised child-bearing wasn’t - and isn’t - compulsory. This realisation encouraged me to think and reflect carefully about the pro-natal nature...
