From Windhorse Publications on Wed, 23 Mar, 2022 - 07:00

Dhammamegha here. Every few years we receive a manuscript that has been growing for decades within the author; a book that breaks new ground and offers a fresh and considered engagement with one of the Buddhist classics.

Bhikkhu Anālayo did this with Satipaṭṭhāna, through his translations and commentaries on the four foundations of mindfulness. Ratnaguna and Śraddhāpa did this with practice and awakening in the Pure Land Sutras in Great Faith, Great Wisdom. In 2019 we published David...

Offering a home to Ukrainian refugees

From Triratna Safeguarding on Wed, 16 Mar, 2022 - 08:24

Watch the ‘Evening of Metta and Solidarity with our European Sangha’.

If we are inspired – as individual Buddhists or as...
