7 Point Mind Training - My Favourite Slogan - 3 Short Talks

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 10 Jul, 2024 - 00:00
This week at Sangha Night we heard from Paranita, Janet and Kai on their favourite mind training slogan. The Seven Point Mind Training teaches us that we can change adverse conditions into the path to Enlightenment by compassion and wisdom. This week we will have three short talks from Janet, Kai and Paranita about the Mind Training slogan that means the most to them. 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.

Social Media - pausing...

From Akashavana on Tue, 9 Jul, 2024 - 14:35

The name Akashavana means forest retreat of luminous space. The community here aspire to preserve and protect this place of retreat in the spirit of going forth into simplicity and freedom.

We have agreed not to post anything onto Facebook or Instagram for the time being. This decision was initially inspired by the action of Amsterdam Buddhist Centre’s to remove their presence from social media. Our hope is that by consciously deciding to take a similar action we will open up the...

The Fragility of Life (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 8 Jul, 2024 - 12:21

This introductory talk by Dhammadinna is an ideal entry point to the world of the mind-turnings. Seen as foundations for the building of practice, the reflections encourage us to make life meaningful in the face of a relentlessly ungovernable reality. A strong look in the mirror of the heart. Excerpted from the talk The Four Mind-Turning Reflections, part of the series of the same title, given at Tiratanaloka...

A Solid Foundation (FBA Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 6 Jul, 2024 - 11:00

The human body, at peace with itself, Is more precious than the rarest gem. Cherish your body - it is yours this time only. The human form is won with difficulty, It is easy to lose. All worldly things are brief, Like lightning in the sky; This life you must know As the tiny splash of a raindrop; A thing of beauty that disappears Even as it comes into being. Therefore set your goal; Make use of every day and...

At 16 Sangharakshita read the Diamond Sutra and so realised he was, and always had been, a Buddhist. Yet in Wisdom Beyond Words he describes the sutra as ‘confusing, irritating, annoying, unsatisfying…‘

However, if we are ‘prepared to have our limiting views and ideas shaken up, there are precious jewels to be found in this...
