The Shrine Room

From Suryavana Retreat Centre on Thu, 15 May, 2025 - 14:38

This is a job we have talked years about doing. Thanks to a generous donor we have been able to facilitate this renovation. We have joined a small auxiliary shrine space with a “garage”. The two rooms make up 50 square metres. It will serve as our shrine room for now and free up the living space above. I can imagine up to 40 persons meditating or up to 20 doing yoga!

Since its purchase in 2026 we have had a flexible...

From Jobs, Volunteering & Communities on Thu, 15 May, 2025 - 11:58

This role is perfect for a Triratna Order member or Mitra who’s excited by the idea of team-based right livelihood, working together to publish life-changing Buddhist books. It’s a well-organised, part-time role with plenty of autonomy, flexibility, and a supportive team atmosphere.

Undoing the Divisions (Dharmabytes Podcasts)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 15 May, 2025 - 11:00

We are continually being bombarded with news about world problems including war, starvation, violence, inequality, climate destruction etc. One response is to just ignore these problems. Sangharakshita argues that ‘an attitude of withdrawal from public concerns to purely personal ones is not worthy of a human being’. Vimaladasa explores how we as Buddhists can bring a voice of sanity and compassion into the world and act accordingly. Excerpted from the talk entitled A Buddhist...

Verklighetens Tre Kaennetecken

From Stockholms buddhistcenter on Thu, 15 May, 2025 - 00:00

“Allt villkorat är förgängligt. Allt villkorat är otillfredsställande. Alla företeelser saknar jag[/själ].” -Buddha Dessa tre påståenden tar oss rakt in i hjärtat av Buddhas undervisning. De så kallade tre kännetecknen, lakshana, beskriver hur allt omkring och inom oss kännetecknas av förändring, av otillfredsställelse och av brist på inneboende essens. Men vad innebär detta egentligen och stämmer det överens med vår egna upplevelse? Hur hanterar vi förändringar? Hur förhåller vi oss till det faktum att vi alla åldras, blir sjuka och en dag kommer dö? Bär vi med oss identiteter som håller oss tillbaka? Föredrag och ledda meditationer från en kurs med Prakashadipa och Prasadacarin. Varje kännetecken utforskades under två kvällar.

Guhyaloka For The Ages: Episode One

From Buddhist Centre Features on Wed, 14 May, 2025 - 15:28

We’re back after a long hiatus with a brand new occasional series of Buddhist Voices featuring the men who made Guhyaloka!

+ Follow Buddhist Voices Podcast

Guhyaloka—the ‘Secret Valley’—has been the Triratna Buddhist Community’s primary place for men’s ordination since 1987. Over 600 men have become Order members there. It has therefore been vitally important in helping to shape what the Triratna community offers the world today.

For it to thrive into the future, Guhyaloka needs to undergo major...

In Every Moment It’s Possible to be Free (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Tue, 13 May, 2025 - 11:27

In the fourth part of a series of talks about the ‘Going for Refuge and Prostration Practice of the Buddha Shakyamuni’, Vajratara shifts the perspective from us contemplating the Refuge Tree, to the figures on the Refuge Tree contemplating us. Blessings or adhisthana is the way the Buddha responds to us, and all we have to do is tune in. How do we remain receptive? What does it feel like to be blessed and purified? What are...
