The Call of the Wise

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Fri, 13 Sep, 2024 - 21:39

“Call forth as much as you can of love, of respect and of faith!
Remove the obstructing defilements, and clear away all your taints!
Listen to the Perfect Wisdom of the gentle Buddhas
Taught for the weal of the world, for heroic spirits intended!”
The Buddha from the Ratnagunasamcayagatha

The Buddhist Path begins with the human situation, with the reality of change and loss and the reality of wonderment, inspiration and spiritual transformation within the processes of impermanence. In...

Message from Bodhilila

From West London Buddhist Centre on Thu, 22 Aug, 2024 - 15:53

Dear Sangha Friends

It is over 3 months since I shared news of my cancer diagnosis, just before I went to hospital for major abdominal surgery. I had been told that the extent of the surgery could not be determined until they began operating and in fact it proved to be more extensive than planned, lasting five and a half hours and including a bowel resection, removal of my appendix, omentum and spleen and a lot more. I was fortunate to have...

Celebrating Sangharakshita’s Legacy: Reflections on His ‘Going Forth’

From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 14 Aug, 2024 - 10:00

This month we celebrate Sangharakshita’s 99th birthday. In doing so we reflect on the enormous impact of his life and teaching, and what his ‘Going Forth’ has meant in all our lives within the Triratna movement.

In 1997, on the 50th anniversary of his ‘Going Forth’, Sangharakshita offered his own reflections on that significant moment and the Buddha’s Noble Quest during an address at the Western Buddhist Order (now Triratna) convention.

‘Going Forth’ refers to renouncing worldly life to pursue a spiritual...

Two Pūjās in Sanskrit

From Sanskrit on Thu, 8 Aug, 2024 - 09:04

Here is what Śraddhāpa wrote:

“Earlier this month (July 2024) I taught the first ever Sanskrit Summer School at Adhiṣṭhāna, something which we’re planning to make an annual event. During the summer school, we used Sanskrit in the shrine room, reciting the Sevenfold Puja in Śāntideva’s original Sanskrit.”

Here is:

the Saptavidhā pūjā, which contains the Sanskrit text of the puja by Śāntideva, including Śraddhāpa’s translation of the refuges and precepts into Sanskrit.
and the Trividhā pūjā, which is Śraddhāpa’s translation of the Threefold Puja into Sanskrit.
