Community Champion in Birmingham

Now here’s an opportunity! A bit of an adventure, even!

We have three communities around the Birmingham Buddhist Centre.  We’re looking for an Order member to move in to one of our men’s communities – rent-free for two years – and invest some time and energy helping the communities to thrive and expand. 

South Birmingham is a great place to live, and we have a well-established Buddhist Centre with an extensive and supportive sangha. So there should be plenty of encouragement and...

Base Metal Into Gold

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 1 May, 2024 - 00:00
Following Vadanya's introduction last week to our new theme, looking at the seven point mind training, Satyajyoti will explore what is it to turn adverse conditions into our path to Enlightenment. We all meet difficulties in our lives and with a radical change in perspective, we can think and act more like an Enlightened being. How would we act in every ordinary moment if we were Enlightened? How can we act to be more Enlightened? In this series we will be exploring a powerful, pithy teaching that tells us how to do just that.
