MAITREYA: BUDDHA OF POTENTIAL

From Community Highlights on Thu, 10 Apr, 2025 - 11:11

All over the Buddhist world, there are Maitreya devotees. Maitreya is the sole bodhisattva recognised and revered by the Theravadins since he’s mentioned in the Pali Canon as well as later scriptures. Metteyya (Maitreya’s Pali name) is the Buddha who will arise in the next world age after the Sangha established by Shakyamuni, ‘our’ Buddha has died out and his teachings have been lost. So Maitreya is known as the Buddha of the Future. ‘Maitreya’ means ‘the Friendly One’ or...

His main subjects, however, are six particular aspects of Buddhist life and practice which are given distinctive emphasis in the spiritual movement he has founded.

He Who Was So Kind

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Thu, 3 Apr, 2025 - 00:00

This week we will be continuing to explore Awareness of Reality, but not in a way you might expect. What if seeing the truth were less about ‘understanding’ reality, and more about coming into relation with and opening up to what we might experience as a living spiritual force?

In this talk we become more aware of the Buddha, who is himself, in this sense, synonymous with reality. Prajnahridaya will be speaking quite personally about his encounters with the Buddha whilst on pilgrimage in India, as well as practices that can allow the loving influence of the Buddha to enter more into our lives and transform us.
