Gratitude for the Order

Words can hardly express how I feel. And we did it as part of a collaborative event with four other amazing charities*...

Medvetenhet aer Revolutionerande

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Tue, 2 Sep, 2025 - 00:00
Viryabodhi beskriver att det finns två slags människor som praktiserar eller söker; de som är pådrivna av lidande, smärta, och de som lockas av och vet det finns mer, eller en kombination av dessa två. Hur uppstår eller vaknar medvetenhet i våra liv? Buddha använde tre olika ord eller begrepp när han talade och undervisade i medvetenhet: 1. sati, ren medvetenhet, eller uppmärksamhet; 2. sampajañña, medvetenhet om syfte eller klar förståelse; och 3. appamāda, vaksamhet eller varsamhet, eller samvete. Sangharakshita beskriver medvetenhetens fyra nivåer, som inbegriper de 4 grunderna till medvetenhet: a. medvetenhet om saker och ting, naturen, världen; b. medvetenhet om oss själva, som har tre aspekter, kroppen, känslor och tankar; 3. medvetenhet om andra; och slutligen 4. medvetenhet om verkligheten. Föredraget gavs på Stockholms Buddhistcenter, 1 september 2025.

Letter from the College of Public Preceptors- September

From College of Public Preceptors on Mon, 1 Sep, 2025 - 00:15

This month’s letter comes from Vajrashura, one of the Deputy Chairs of the College: Vajrashura first came across Triratna in 1999 in Dublin, Ireland, while a student in Trinity College Dublin, where he studied Theoretical Physics. Buddhism offered him a path of transformation and existential meaning which had been lacking in his life and world, as well as deep friendships on that path. In 2002 he started working in the Dublin Buddhist Centre, where he continues to help spread the Dharma...
