Walking, Running and Stumbling along the Noble Eight Fold Path

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Mon, 25 Mar, 2013 - 18:19

Walking, Running and Stumbling along the Noble Eight Fold Path

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Mon, 25 Mar, 2013 - 18:19One of the central teachings of Buddhism is the Noble Eight Fold Path. Intellectually it holds interest as being one of the first teachings; but its true value to each of us is the extent to which we integrate the teaching into the many varied moments of our lives. On the meditation cushion and off, at work and at home, at play and at rest, the path offers guidance.

Viriyagita and Suzanne will be exploring the Eight Fold path...

Installing the Biomass heating system

From Adhisthana on Wed, 20 Mar, 2013 - 13:03

Yashodeva, Sanghadeva and Ajjavin beginning the installation of the Biomass heating system, designed to be carbon neutral and more cost effective than fossil fuels. When we bought the property, we thought ‘well, it will need a lick of paint’. Turned out to need a bit more than that. Mokshapriya explains why here: http://adhisthana.org/video-45-...
