'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.

Meditation, Dharma, Community — Every Wednesday, 7-8:30pm at Gateway Taiji in Portsmouth or online on Zoom, beginning October 5th.

From a Buddhist perspective, spirituality is a process of becoming kinder and less selfish, of freeing oneself from habits based in craving, hatred and ignorance. This work leads us to a deeper sense of connection, and begins to unravel our suffering. The problem of human suffering was of central concern to the Buddha, and the Noble Eightfold Path is...

World on Fire - Building Resilience in Tough Times

I am preparing this blurb in early September. Summer is lingering and the days are still long. But as I reflect on our day together in late Oct I am only too aware that we will be well into the autumn and inevitably feeling the pinch of the energy and cost of living crises.

How can we use the Dharma to help us be resilient in the face of unstable times like these? How can we harness the...

FBA Podcast: Freedom - The Bigger Picture

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 3 Sep, 2022 - 06:00

Spiritual freedom arises when your heart and mind is transformed. In order to live in a world that is harmonious, that’s loving, that’s enabling us to all fulfill our potential, then we all must be working for freedom in some way, working for our own and others, whoever they are. Suryagupta draws out the meaning of Freedom through the story of Nelson Mandela.
