The Essential Revolution

From London Buddhist Centre on Mon, 16 Sep, 2024 - 00:00
Talk 1 in a series of 8 on The Dhammapada at the London Buddhist Centre. The Dhammapada, or ‘Way of Truth’, is a profound expression of ‘Basic Buddhism’. In its short, memorable verses, the Buddha challenges us to practise wholeheartedly – because ‘a tamed mind brings happiness’. The Dharma Night team unpack some of these ancient wisdom-sayings, which, as our founder has said, ‘deserve to be engraved on our hearts in letters of gold – or fire.’

Reason and Emotion

From London Buddhist Centre on Sat, 14 Sep, 2024 - 00:00
Talk 2 in a series of 8 on The Noble Eightfold Path at the London Buddhist Centre. Treading the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path is a matter of ‘bringing the whole of our life up to the level of its highest moments’ – so says our teacher, Bhante Sangharakshita. Glimpses of the true nature of things – whether through some personal tragedy, a higher experience of art or nature, or just through our ‘simple human maturity’ – get us on to the Path. But soon enough our whole being, in all its heights and depths, need to be transformed in the light of this insight. So it is both vision and transformation; a sight of the mountain peak, and a map for trudging up its slopes bit by bit.

From Triratna News on Thu, 12 Sep, 2024 - 11:38
