Doorways to Dhyana

From London Buddhist Centre on Thu, 18 May, 2023 - 15:44

Join Jnanavaca online or in person at the LBC on this four week exploration and learn how to deepen your meditation practice and open doorways to Dhyana. 

Jnanavaca will be exploring ways of accessing the dhyanas - higher states of consciousness available through meditative absorption.

Creative Mind — The Buddhist Way to What is Real
How our views and stories lock us down or free us

This summer we’ll be exploring how the views we hold and the stories we tell ourselves can either keep us locked in to painful habits, or free us from our suffering.

The Buddha described the philosophical and religious positions of his day as a ‘thicket of views,’ and described Nirvana or Enlightenment as being beyond views. This means that true freedom is a...

Following yesterday’s post about Munisha and Amaladipa moving on from Safeguarding work in Triratna, here is a message from those raising money to thank them both, and to enable Munisha to have a rest before seeking further employment.

Munisha and Amaladipa are moving on

From Triratna Safeguarding on Tue, 16 May, 2023 - 11:21

Dear Friends,

After seven years as Triratna’s European Chairs’ Assembly’s Safeguarding officer I will be moving on at the end of June; and Amaladipa has recently stepped down as the ECA’s Safeguarding Adviser, after volunteering six years of invaluable work, support and advice, much of it on top of her full-time job as a senior leader in the probation service.

I am so grateful to Amaladipa for the support and expertise she has contributed to...

From Adhisthana on Mon, 15 May, 2023 - 16:00

In 1949 Bhante’s vision in the Virupaksha Guha cave was life-changing. His vision of Amitabha holding the lotus convinced him that it was time to seek formal ordination and join the lineage of the Buddha.

Help Suvajra bring Bhante’s vision to Adhisthana and share this project with your friends: Honouring Bhante
