More Triratna climate change actions

From Triratna News on Wed, 9 Dec, 2015 - 11:43

Continuing our Triratna News mini-series marking the COP21 climate change talks in Paris, more news of climate change actions from around the Triratna world. 

Dublin Buddhist Centre, in Ireland, released their Statement on Human-Caused Global Warming today. Last week, we hear, Triratna individuals were among those staging a ritual inside the British Museum, as part of the Art, not Oil coalition’s opposition to BP’s (British Petroleum) sponsorship of several British arts institutions.

Getting Real

From Coogee Buddhist Group on Tue, 8 Dec, 2015 - 02:04

Sorting ourselves out at a fundamental level is an art. The more I practice meditation in an effort to know myself and to know myself in relation to others the more I see how much there is to know.


Meditation and the support of like-minded friends gradually allows me to see through the layers of my conditioning and take responsibility for my place in life. 


I hope you can join us for meditation this week:
