Buddhafield Week - Part II

From Community Highlights on Sun, 7 Jul, 2013 - 18:25As you may have read over on Triratna News, it’s been a strong time of late at Buddhafield, the Triratna project we have been featuring this summer in the run-up to their annual festival from July 17th-21st. As promised, all this week we’re having a second set of features highlighting the best of the community there, and we hope to bring you coverage (rural broadband permitting!) from some of the festival itself.

Notes from an Appealing Buddhist

From Leeds Buddhist Centre on Fri, 5 Jul, 2013 - 15:18Life on a Karuna door-knocking appeal

Previously (a week ago) on the Green Tara Appeal: Our actual target for the whole appeal is £1791 and with just 6 evenings to go we are still £739 short. So, between us, we need to find around £123 each evening in monthly donations. A big ask when we’ve averaged around £64 in the last four evenings. It’s a daunting task and the Green Tara Team really have their work cut out over...

The current venture is here (badly in need of an update)

Vegan Summer & the Five Precepts

From Glasgow Buddhist Centre on Tue, 2 Jul, 2013 - 11:29Every summer we have the quirkily named “Summertime Specials”, a series of Dharma talks, and this year’s theme is The Five Precepts. To accompany this series we’re having Vegan Summer - the GBC is going totally vegan for six weeks! How best to put the 1st Precept into action?!

Starting on Thursday 18th July, we’ll launch the Vegan Summer and Summertime Specials with an evening dedicated to the precepts, introducing the talks and celebrating with a festive puja...

GBC Urban Retreat 21st - 28th July

From Glasgow Buddhist Centre on Tue, 2 Jul, 2013 - 10:29This year’s Urban Retreat is based around Maitreyabandhu’s book “Life with Full Attention”.

We’ll start on Sunday 21st July with a day retreat, doing some meditation together, looking at the material from the book, including a presentation on ‘everyday mindfulness’, followed by discussion about how we can bring this...
