Creu sangha Cymraeg / Creating a Welsh speaking sangha

From Cardiff Buddhist Centre on Wed, 12 Oct, 2022 - 10:58

Ein gweledigaeth yw cael y Dharma ar gael i bawb yn eu mam iaith. I roi cyfle i bawb sy’n ymarfer y Dharma i gysylltu yn fwy llawn efo cryfder emosiynol sy’n dyfod trwy ymarfer yn eich mam iaith. Tydi’r Gymraeg ddim yn ffurf niwtral o gyfathrebu i siaradwyr Cymraeg, mae’n rhan hanfodol o ddiwylliant arbennig i Gymry Cymraeg, mae’r iaith ynghlwm a’r galon ac felly yn linc uniongyrchol i’r bywyd emosiynol. Mi ydan ni eisiau’r Dharma fod yn rhan o’r diwylliant...

Puja to celebrate Dr Ambedkar

From Adhisthana on Wed, 12 Oct, 2022 - 10:43

Puja to celebrate Dr Ambedkar

From Adhisthana on Wed, 12 Oct, 2022 - 10:43

Born into the Dalit or ‘untouchable’ caste and the 14th child of an army officer, Dr Ambedkar was the only one of his siblings to finish primary school. Forced to sit outside the classroom because of his caste, he could not drink water unless someone else poured it for him as he was not allowed to touch either the water or the vessel it was carried in.

On 14th October 1956 Ambedkar converted to Buddhism. He took the refuges and precepts himself,...

From West London Buddhist Centre on Tue, 11 Oct, 2022 - 18:53

Six Wednesdays, 9 November - 14 December - 7-9.15pm

‘…a universe conceived of as dead cannot be a universe in which one stands any chance of attaining Enlightenment.’ Sangharakshita, Living with Awareness

One of the most urgent challenges facing humanity is to establish a respectful and sustainable relationship with the natural world. The nature-based spiritual tradition of animism offers both a mythical and a practical basis for such a relationship. Buddhism and animism have long been bedfellows, from when the Buddha roamed the forests...

'Meeting the Buddhas' returning soon!

'Meeting the Buddhas' returning soon!

From Windhorse Publications on Thu, 6 Oct, 2022 - 15:07

Originally published in 1993, Vessantara’s Meeting the Buddhas rapidly attained the status of a classic not only within Triratna, but also in the wider Buddhist world. Out of print since 2008, it’s been carefully revised and updated, and in December we’ll be releasing a brand-new edition. The new cover was designed by Akasajoti, and many of the images that illustrate the text are new.  

How you can help

As we’ve mentioned before, it’s a precarious time in publishing, with high inflation and global...

יצא לאור: "לשוט עם רוחות העולם" מאת וג'רגופטה Vajragupta's Sailing the Worldly Winds now available in Hebrew

יצא לאור: "לשוט עם רוחות העולם" מאת וג'רגופטה Vajragupta's Sailing the Worldly Winds now available in Hebrew

From Hebrew Translation Group on Wed, 5 Oct, 2022 - 11:11

שמחה לבשר: ספרו של וג’רגופטה, לשוט עם רוחות העולם - מדריך בודהיסטי לצליחת סערות החיים בתרגום עברי, יצא לאור בהוצאת בודהיספרא. אנא הפיצו את הבשורה!

החיים מלאים בסערות שמחוללות נסיבות חיצוניות או פנימיות. הן יכולות לעורר בנו השתוקקות או סלידה, תקווה או פחד, אך גם נדיבות, טוּב לב ותובנה. הבודהה תיאר את אותן טלטלות – קטנות כגדולות – באמצעות ארבעה זוגות של רוחות העולם: רווח והפסד, תהילה וקלון, שבח וגנאי, עונג וכאב. אי אפשר להימלט מפניהן: הן מנשבות בדרכים רבות בכל מקום: בבית, בעבודה, בחופשה ובבית הספר. וכשאנו נידפים כך ברוח, כיצד נוכל שלא לאבד תחושת כיוון, ביטחון ומשמעות?
 

הלימוד החומל ועם זאת הבלתי מתפשר של הבודהה מתווה דרך שבאמצעותה נוכל לגלות איזון פנימי מול רוחות העולם. מתוכה מציע המורה הבריטי וג’רגופטה, בגישתו המעשית ובלשונו הבהירה, כלים עכשוויים שישמשו אותנו גם בעיצומן של סערות החיים ובתוך המולת העיר המודרנית.
