Daughters of the Buddha (FBA Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 17 May, 2025 - 11:00

Let’s hear it for the early Buddhist women! Mahajapapati was the first Buddhist nun and leader of the women’s ordained sangha, and her two chief disciples were Khema and Uppalavanna. Maitrisiddhi explores some challenging material - and also very inspiring texts around the beginning of the bhikkhuni sangha. The talk also features Mara - the embodiment of everything that holds us back. How do we free ourselves from his insidious whispers? Talk given at ...

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...

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.
