Year 2 mitra study, the Way of Mindfulness

From Mitra Study Leaders on Tue, 16 Dec, 2025 - 16:02

The current layout with so many pages of sample diaries, and the all important appendices right at the back of the whole module, is very difficult to navigate, especially in the on-line version but also in the paperback.     My group suggests putting the appendices for each unit with the unit main page, and the diary pages right at the back.

De Tre Farkosterna - Del 2

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Tue, 16 Dec, 2025 - 00:00
Genom sin över 2 500 år långa historia har buddhismen utvecklats i tre stora faser: Theravada, mahayana och vajrayana. Under två kvällar kommer vi utifrån dessa tre stora grenar fördjupa oss i hur buddhismens idéer, texter, praktiker och kulturella uttryck har förändrats genom tiderna. Samt hur dessa möts och utövas inom Buddhistiska gemenskapen Triratna.
